Ask Dr. Universe: Earth’s crust couldn’t withstand weight and pressure of a fragment of neutron star ...

That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, only uranium-235 can support a : one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons, causing more fission, and ...

But what exactly is uranium enrichment and why does it raise concerns? To understand what it means to “enrich” uranium, you need to know a little about uranium isotopes and about splitting the atom in ...

That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, onlyuranium-235 can support a fission chain reaction: one neutron causes an atom to fission, which produces energy and some more neutrons ...

IN continuation of our experiments on the fission of uranium by fast neutrons, we have been studying decay periods of various isotopes. In this communication we give the results on silver and ...
