A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

The discovery of nuclear fission is one of the most profound scientific breakthroughs of the 20th century, reshaping physics, unlocking the power of the atomic nucleus, and setting the stage for both ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

Globally, nuclear power accounts for roughly 10% of electricity generation. In some countries, such as France, this figure is nearly 70%. Big tech companies such as Google are also turning to nuclear ...

Today’s pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are marvels of nuclear fission technology that enable gigawatt-scale power stations in a very compact space. Though they are extremely safe, with only the TMI ...

At Deep Fission, we’re taking a radically different approach to nuclear energy: smaller, safer, faster to deploy—and located a mile underground. By placing reactors deep beneath the Earth’s surface, ...

TOKYO — How powerful are hydrogen bombs? Think of it this way: They use atomic bombs just as a trigger. Atomic weapons like those previously tested by North Korea rely on nuclear fission to release ...
