An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

In an unassuming industrial park 30 miles outside Boston, engineers are building a futuristic machine to replicate the energy that powers the stars. If all goes to plan, it could be the key to ...

A controlled nuclear fission reaction releases one million times more energy per kg of fuel than a chemical reaction such as burning coal, oil or gas. Nuclear power creates well-paid employment ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear ...

The amount of energy produced from fusion is very large — four times as much as nuclear fission reactions — and fusion reactions can be the basis of future fusion power reactors. Plans call for ...

Crews could not enter the hot cells to conduct the characterization work due to the extremely high radiation and ...

The process is much different than fission, the nuclear reaction that powers current nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb. Fusion is a carbon-free process that relies on heated plasma, a gas made ...

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.
