Rosatom and Kazakhstan’s Institute of Nuclear Physics have signed an MoU to develop a multi‑purpose research reactor and lab complex.

The program’s growth came in stages: small test cascades, then hidden facilities, then vast enrichment halls buried beneath ...

In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...

Observations of the formation of light-nuclei from high-energy collisions may help in the hunt for dark matter.

Let’s start with the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF)—arguably the largest, most ...

“Overloading Plasma Balls and Xenon Lamps” captures the shocking effects of pushing high-voltage devices beyond their limits, ...

Neutrinos are low-mass subatomic particles with zero electric charge that interact with matter only via the weak nuclear force and gravity. This makes neutrinos difficult to detect, despite the fact ...

A University of Glasgow spinout which creates advanced 3D images of inaccessible structures using cosmic rays has won a national award.

Thirty-seven sub-assemblies, including 28 fuel sub-assemblies, are currently being loaded into India’s first 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor (PFBR) at Kalpakkam, the government said, marking a ...

Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious particles in the universe, often called "ghost particles" because they rarely interact with anything else. Trillions stream through our bodies every second, ...

Scientists have recorded a rare interaction between solar neutrinos and carbon for the first ...
