He and his colleagues confirmed that it’s a natural sample that had undergone fusion back when Earth was still a young planet. Man-made nuclear fission reactors work by carefully controlling a chain ...

An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für ...

Example nuclear reactions include radioactive decay, fission, the break-up of a nucleus, and fusion, the merging of nuclei. Measurements of fission fragments for 100 fissioning systems are used to ...

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.

Scientists have built the first-ever thorium reactor. Thorium is both more easily accessible and less dangerous than ...

Scientists in Gansu province in the country's west have achieved the milestone of reloading fuel to an operational nuclear fission reactor while it was running. The achievement shows fission ...

This marks the discovery of a new "island of asymmetric fission" in the nuclear chart ... relevant, for example, in r-process nucleosynthesis in the cosmos." The discovery is a major step forward ...
