Researchers from the University of Washington and Los Alamos National Laboratory have used the Summit supercomputer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory to simulate the intricate process of nuclear ...

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Deep Fission is betting that the safest place for a nuclear reactor is not behind thicker concrete walls but a mile beneath ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission ...

We took a look at the element tritium a short time ago. A "high octane" and ultra-rare nuclear isotope of which we have a global supply you could fit in an XL-sized suitcase. A supply that small could ...

Nuclear startup Deep Fission announced Monday that it has gone public in a reverse merger, netting the company $30 million. No, it’s not 2021. The startup is proposing to build small, cylindrical ...

BERKELEY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), a nuclear energy company pioneering a new approach to clean power by placing safe, small modular reactors (SMRs) in boreholes a ...

Fission gas release constitutes a pivotal phenomenon in nuclear fuel behaviour during reactor operation. It involves the generation and migration of gaseous fission products—primarily xenon and ...

Matthew Hole receives funding from the Australian government through the Australian Research Council and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO), and the Simons Foundation.

"As we’ve acquired more observations, the cosmos is saying 'hey, there’s a signature here, and it can only come from fission.'" When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
