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 company and Kansas officials hailed the plan in December to build a reactor in Parsons by July 4. Deep Fission now says ...

Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a breakthrough that could help bring nuclear fusion — often described as the "holy grail" of clean energy — out of giant research ...

A testing campaign led by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has successfully validated a prototype high-temperature fission chamber, which is a critical component for the ...

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Nuclear fusion energy could become commercially viable by the early 2030s as scientists work to replicate the sun's power, ...

A small US nuclear startup has quietly crossed a threshold that most young fission companies only talk about, achieving a self-sustaining chain reaction in a test system without ever boiling water or ...
