A single person has just built a neutron-producing nuclear fusor on his kitchen bench, achieves nuclear fusion entirely ...

He's split in two… He’s always doing that. To understand why, you’ve got to think about what we’re all made from – atoms. Every atom contains a lot of energy. And there are certain kinds ...

Southern Co. (NYSE:SO) said Wednesday that Unit 4 at the Vogtle nuclear expansion project has reached initial criticality, a key step during the startup testing sequence showing for the first time ...

The global Nuclear Power Market size is expected to grow from USD 38.84 billion in 2024 to USD 44.71 billion by 2029, at a ...

As physicists came closer to understanding the nature of the atom in the 1930s, it became increasingly clear that a great deal of energy could be released by splitting atoms. In 1939, Albert Einstein ...

As the uranium atoms split naturally, they give off two neutrons each. The moderator slows these neutrons, so they have a better chance of being absorbed by another uranium-235 atom. If this ...
