The world has seen the devastation caused by the two atomic bombs that were dropped on Japan in the Second World War, but the havoc would be multifold if a modern-day nuclear weapon were used in a ...

We can replace assumptions with measurements, improve the models used to interpret nuclear debris, and support ...

In a surprising turn of events, an international team of scientists has found that lead-208 (208 Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, exhibits unexpected shape characteristics that current ...

A novel apparatus at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has made extremely precise measurements of unstable ruthenium nuclei. The measurements are a significant ...

Earlier this month, Blue Energy and GE Vernova announced a 2.50 GW paired nuclear-and-gas project in Texas that combines GE Vernova Hitachi Nuclear Energy’s BWRX-300 small modular reactors with GE ...

A team of theorists has extended their previous critical analysis of the Lead Radius Experiment (PREX). The experiment involved deducing the neutron size of a lead atom’s nucleus by measuring a tiny ...
