Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening ...

The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

A team of researchers at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) at Michigan State University (MSU) has discovered that cobalt-70 isotopes form different nuclear shapes when their energy levels ...

Some atoms are stable, while others seem to fall apart. Lead-208 will probably last forever, while the synthetic isotope technetium-99 exists for just hours. The difference lies in the structure of ...

Trions form when three particles, like quarks or electrons, come together. This formation occurs in quantum particles in ...

A California nuclear technology company has used a next-generation reactor prototype to supply electricity ...

Discerning whether a nuclear reactor is being used to also create material for nuclear weapons is difficult, but capturing and analyzing antimatter particles has shown promise for monitoring what ...

The SNO+ detector. (SNOLAB) A tank of the purest water, buried under kilometers of rock in Ontario, Canada, flashed as a ...
