Abstract: A dense plasma focus (DPF) is a co-axial plasma railgun, whose discharge ends in a z-pinch phase. The MegaJOuLe neutron imaging radiography (MJOLNIR) DPF is a Lawrence Livermore National ...

Fusion’s demand for tritium is tiny in volume terms, but tritium is the key ingredient to turn fusion reactor designs into ...

The first breeder reactor, went online almost 75 years ago. But today, only two remain active across the globe. Our question is simply, why?

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 ...

Mitochondrial fission induced by DRP1 also plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of microvascular [nephropathy (32), retinopathy (33), and neuropathy] and macrovascular [stroke and myocardial ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

The model also accounted for multichance fission, a process where the nucleus emits neutrons before it undergoes fission. They found that while this process has only a minor effect on fragment mass ...

The goal of this paper is to build a simple point kinetics model to predict the neutron and photon multiplicities induced by an associated particle imaging deuterium-tritium neutron generator ...
