On the afternoon of Dec. 2, 1942, The Atomic Age began inside an enormous tent on a squash court under the stands of the University of Chicago’s Stagg Field. There, headed by Italian scientist Enrico ...
Fusion is among the most environmentally friendly sources of energy. There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to ...
Nuclear Power Plants Authority of Egypt personnel attended control points during the manufacturing of the reactor pressure ...
How close were the Nazis to developing an atomic bomb? The truth is that National Socialist Germany could not possibly have built a weapon like the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima or Nagasaki. This ...
Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...
Scientists replicated their breakthrough December 2022 nuclear fusion experiment. But this time, they produced even more energy from the experiment than the first time. These experiments are history ...
A nuclear reactor is a device that generates heat through a controlled release of energy from splitting the atoms of certain elements. In nuclear power plants, the heat produces steam, which drives ...
Late last week, Israel targeted three of Iran’s key nuclear facilities – Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow, killing several Iranian nuclear scientists. The facilities are heavily fortified and largely ...
Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous radioactive waste as a by-product. Now, researchers say they may have ...
