Unlike conventional chemical rockets, Sunbird relies on nuclear fusion – a process that replicates the energy production at the core of stars – to propel spacecraft.

Fusion has long been the propulsion end-goal for interplanetary travel, and a U.K.-based company thinks on its way to ...

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

Fourteen years after the Fukushima disaster, nuclear power is being rebranded as a climate savior, and fission is in fashion.

New research adds to the understanding of how mitochondria function during spermatogenesis, the process by which sperm cells ...

The nuclear fuel cycle is the series of industrial processes that turns uranium into electricity. Claire Maden takes a look ...

For example, if a reactor in an MSR overheats, the liquid salt expands and naturally increases the leakage of neutrons from the reactor core, meaning they are no longer available to cause fission.

Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

Many scientists say “subcritical” experiments and computer simulations make nuclear weapons testing unnecessary.

India is ready to become the most preferred initial public offering (IPO) market globally by 2035, according to Nandan Nilekani, cofounder of Infosys, who spearheaded the country's massive unique ...
