The fuel isn't quite everlasting, but it is long-lasting and abundant — and it doesn't produce lung-troubling air pollution.

North Dakota’s Gateway to Science offers hands-on experiments year-round. Additionally, they are expanding their programming ...

In this quick science demo, I show how tiny water beads transform when you add salt. First I compare dry beads to ones that ...

“This is the first time in history that chloride-based molten salt fuel has been produced for a fast reactor,” said Bill Phillips, technical lead for salt synthesis. “It’s a major milestone for ...

Scientists at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) have achieved a historic breakthrough in nuclear energy by launching full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the Molten Chloride Reactor ...

Rock salt, or sodium chloride, is widely used to prevent ice and reduce winter driving accidents, but scientists warn that its excessive application is causing environmental damage and contaminating ...

Winter means a lot of indoor time, and I've learned that science experiments are a lifesaver on those long, cold days. The best part? You don't need anything fancy. Baking soda, vinegar, food ...

The molten salt experiment (MSE) is a 30-day 1 MW (thermal) molten salt criticality experiment designed by Copenhagen Atomics that will be conducted at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) Swiss research ...

Idaho National Laboratory has launched full-scale production of enriched fuel salt for the world's first test of a molten chloride salt fast reactor - technology that could be deployed as soon as the ...

Soil salinization severely restricts agricultural production and the sustainable use of soil. While plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and hydrogen-rich water (HRW) have individually been ...

In many areas of the world, including California, the demand for freshwater exceeds supply, and the effects of climate change are exacerbating the issue. More frequent and longer periods of drought ...
