Researchers from the University of Washington and Los Alamos National Laboratory have used the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to simulate the intricate process of nuclear ...

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 ...

We took a look at the element tritium a short time ago. A "high octane" and ultra-rare nuclear isotope of which we have a global supply you could fit in an XL-sized suitcase. A supply that small could ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

It aims to attract data centers and other energy-intensive industries. Officials break ground on first-of-its-kind ...

The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission ...

Back in the 1950s, the U.S. started detonating nuclear bombs underground to limit the fallout, both radioactive and sociopolitical, unleashed by aboveground testing. Hundreds of feet of rock formed a ...

Deep Fission is betting that the safest place for a nuclear reactor is not behind thicker concrete walls but a mile beneath our feet. The California startup wants to sink compact power plants into ...

Nuclear startup Deep Fission announced Monday that it has gone public in a reverse merger, netting the company $30 million. No, it’s not 2021. The startup is proposing to build small, cylindrical ...
