Beijing had long tested nuclear missiles only within its borders. A rare launch over an ocean shows it is determined to ...
Some 40 years ago, physicists noticed certain metals were conducting electricity in a bizarre way no one could explain. New ...
During the Cold War, Europe kept asking whether Washington would risk an American city to save a European one. It was an ...
When viruses travel through the air in tiny droplets, they can quickly start to dry out. Yet many viruses remain infectious after rehydration—something that is still not fully understood. Now, an ...
Two teams of physicists have made the world’s first nuclear clocks. These radical new devices keep time using fluctuations in the energy states of an atom’s nucleus, rather than those of its electrons ...
On the radar this week are a major Hong Kong tech listing, and a US underground modular nuclear reactor developer.
Sometime on Oct. 21 of last year, high above the Arctic Circle, a lone missile shot skyward from a Russian island. The missile flew northeast and then banked and began flying in loops for hours over ...
Understanding the nuances of nuclear fallout—whether from a nuclear weapon or accident—could help save countless lives. A new study from scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have ...
Thea Energy will develop a virtual model of its planned fusion power plant using software engineering and computation tools. The enterprise aims to replicate its upcoming “Helios” facility as a ...
How are heavy elements formed in the universe? Extremely neutron-rich atomic nuclei and their beta-decay rates play an important role in this process. Until now, it has been very difficult to ...
In the first fraction of a second after a nuclear explosion or a major reactor accident, an immense surge of energy superheats the surrounding environment. Nearby materials and air are instantly ...
