Physicists have discovered that silicon-22 reveals a new proton magic number offering critical insights into nuclear ...

In a breakthrough that could pave the way for more efficient and cleaner energy, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have discovered a rare phenomenon that changes what we know ...

Nobody is saying it, but the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning may be springboarding the increased ...

"Since this study has given us access to fission data of many more nuclei, the picture has really changed, and we have now a ...

Thermal neutrons are excellent for sustaining fission in reactors like TRIGA or thermal molten salt reactors (MSRs), but they don’t produce an explosive “detonation” in the traditional sense. Instead, ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision that created the smallest black hole ever seen.

Fission and fusion are both nuclear reactions. But while one involves splitting atoms, the other involves fusing atoms together.

IN nuclear transformations initiated by deuteron impact, two types of processes are, as well known, to be taken into consideration. In the process of the first type (process I), the intermediate ...

In their recent study published in Physical Review C, the team explored the possible emission rate of particle-stable tetraneutron via thermal neutron-induced fission of 235 U (Uranium-235) in a ...

Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Until now.
