Aiden McMillan, a 12-year-old student in Dallas, Texas, has built a home nuclear fusion device and is seeking a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to do so.

Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

Nuclear reactions as a research area encompass the experimental and theoretical study of processes in which atomic nuclei interact and transform, including fusion, fission, scattering, and transfer ...

A multimillion-dollar government project is betting that particle accelerators can "burn" through the world's most dangerous ...

Using the advanced GALILEO Array coupled with the 4π Si-ball EUCLIDES, the researchers conducted in-depth spectroscopic analysis to track and identify the reactions. The gamma-gamma coincidence method ...

Long hailed as an impossibility, harnessing nuclear fusion to power homes, businesses, cars and even airplanes is now widely viewed by scientists and engineers as a very real prospect that would ...

In a world first, the US Department of Defense (aka the Department of War) airlifted a complete 5-MW nuclear reactor using a C-17 Globemaster III transport from March Air Reserve Base, California to ...

Dr. Arati Prabhakar, Director of the Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), called the nuclear fusion breakthrough an "engineering marvel." Researchers at the Lawrence Livermore National ...

Photonuclear reactions occur when high-energy photons interact with atomic nuclei, resulting in the ejection of one or more nucleons or the emission of other subatomic particles. These reactions serve ...

I was very disappointed to see the editorial supporting development of new or reenergized nuclear power plants (Nov. 18, 2024, page 2). Whatever happened to concerns about safely storing ...
