Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and understanding it can provide insights into cancer and other diseases. Now, ...

BERKELEY, Calif., February 25, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Deep Fission Inc. (Deep Fission), the trailblazing nuclear energy startup transforming the industry by delivering safe, scalable, onsite, and cost ...

High-profile tech leaders are betting on nuclear fusion technology becoming a reality in the next decade — or less.

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...

Her story is a sad one. Meitner based her fission argument on the “liquid droplet model” of nuclear structure — a model that likened the forces that hold the atomic nucleus together to the ...

Although to most the term ‘fission reactor’ brings to mind something close to the commonly operated light-water reactors (LWRs) which operate using plain water (H 2 O) as coolant and with ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right ...

The fusion–fission hybrid was conceived to capitalize on the advantages and minimize the disadvantages of both processes, neatly encapsulated by Lidsky in his 1975 review of the subject 1 ...
