An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

Madison’s nuclear reactor and fusion labs after announcing a state partnership to study Wisconsin’s nuclear energy ...

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 ...

Scientists in the United States have used artificial intelligence (AI) to predict the outcome of a nuclear fusion experiment with over 70 percent accuracy. Scientists at the Lawrence Livermore ...

Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have made a breakthrough that could help bring nuclear fusion — often described as the "holy grail" of clean energy — out of giant research ...

The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...
