US startup’s goal to power Earth, space with modular nuclear reactor gets funding boost
The Trump administration’s so-called “nuclear renaissance” is in full force, with several startups earning ...
UT researchers have made rare measurements of exotic nuclear decay that reshape how scientists think heavy elements form in extreme cosmic events. You can’t have gold without the decay of an atomic ...
The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...
The last week of July heralded not one but two scientific breakthroughs that have left the academic community abuzz and may bring us one step closer to the holy grail of fusion energy. Nuclear fusion ...

How a Routine Maintenance Job Became a Lethal Nuclear Disaster
Buried in the cold Idaho desert, the SL-1 reactor held a deadly secret. In 1961, a fatal steam explosion ripped through the ...
The Central Asian nation is leveraging its uranium wealth, cutting-edge research and strategic partnerships to develop ...
Scientists have begun applying machine learning tools to nuclear physics challenges. In the past few years, a flurry of machine learning projects has come online in nuclear physics, and researchers ...
Two papers challenged the existence of theorized particles called sterile neutrinos that might account for mysteries like the ...
Texas A&M physics graduate student Ryan Amberger getting hands-on experience in the art and science of making targets at Argonne National Laboratory. Ryan Amberger, a Ph.D. candidate in the Department ...
Nuclear and plasma physics form complementary pillars in our understanding of the fundamental forces and states of matter. Nuclear physics investigates the structure, dynamics and interactions of ...
The study of chiral nuclear physics explores the phenomenon of handedness that arises from the interplay between triaxial deformation and the angular momentum of valence nucleons. In such systems, the ...
Simple physics demonstrates the safety of power production in modern U.S. nuclear power plants. Despite the scaremongering of anti-nuclear activists, nuclear power can provide almost limitless safe, ...
