Meisner remarked: “The whole ‘fission’ process can thus be described in an essentially classical [physics] way.” Just that simple, right? Meitner went further to explain how her scientific ...

China has made a significant breakthrough in nuclear fusion technology, achieving record temperatures in its EAST experiment, ...

Regardless of the exact configuration, MSRs have the intrinsic safety feature of a negative fuel temperature coefficient, meaning that the reactivity of the fission process is inversely linked to ...

To ensure an adequate supply of neutrons to drive the fission process, a conventional nuclear reactor must operate at a level that is self-sustaining: at least as many neutrons are produced as are ...

Fission splits a heavy element (with a high atomic mass number ... the reactor would automatically come to a halt within a few seconds, since the process of energy production is arrested, with no ...

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 ...

Prokaryotic cells, which include bacteria, undergo a type of cell division known as binary fission. This process involves replication of the cell's chromosomes, segregation of the copied DNA ...

Today’s operational nuclear power plants rely on nuclear fission, or the process of breaking atoms apart. Nuclear fusion, however, generates electricity by combining atoms, like what happens in ...

Unlike nuclear fission, which splits atoms to create energy, nuclear fusion generates power by combining atoms. It is best known as the process that powers the sun. CFS' reactor would generate ...

As Chief AI Officer, Stuart will lead initiatives to integrate cutting-edge AI into Deep Fission's operations, enhancing safety, streamlining the regulatory process, supporting engineering and ...
