Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, killing several Iranian nuclear scientists. The facilities are heavily fortified and largely underground, and there are conflicting reports of how much damage has been done ...

"We’re breaking barriers." Researchers announce 'breathtaking' development with next-gen nuclear reactor: 'It's a significant ...

Physicists have solved a long-standing puzzle about mercury’s nuclear fission by using a five-dimensional model that ...

This is the same reaction that powers the Sun. Modern nuclear bombs often combine both processes, with a primary (chemical and fission explosion) and a secondary (fusion blast) stage, resulting in ...

When most people hear the word uranium, they think of mushroom clouds, Cold War standoffs or the glowing green rods from ...

A five-dimensional model has successfully predicted the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, offering new insights into ...

The main risk inside the storage facility is the chemical toxicity of uranium hexafluoride gas and fluoride compounds ...

For nuclear power reactors or weapons, we need to change the isotope proportions. That’s because of the two main uranium isotopes, onlyuranium-235 can support a fission chain reaction: one ...
