Particle gun uses electromagnetic technique to produce ‘atomic flashlight’ that can find cracks in aeroplane wings and detect ...

Both are types of nuclear reactions. The atomic bomb harnessed the power of fission, while the hydrogen bomb (H-bomb) utilises fusion. Put simply, it all comes down to the atoms of certain ...

The Tsar Bomba remains the most powerful nuclear bomb ever detonated, a weapon of unimaginable destruction. Designed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s, its explosive yield was 50 megatons of TNT, ...

Following the announcement that the Royal Air Force is regaining nuclear weapons, we explore the service’s history using ...

On August 20, 1953, the Soviet press announced that the USSR had tested a hydrogen bomb. ... The atomic explosion would heat and compress the hydrogen fuel sufficiently to cause a fusion reaction.

The Doomsday Clock now stands at 89 seconds to midnight, signalling an unprecedented threat of global catastrophe.

As early as the 1950s when mankind's first H-bomb exploded, there were predictions that it would take 50 years for nuclear fusion, which is the main reaction in the H-bomb explosion process, to be ...

The plant Google invested in isn’t going to be built until the early 203. When it starts generating usable fusion energy is ...

Modern re-run shows that Arthur Ruhlig’s conclusions, which probably influenced early thinking about fusion energy, were ...

Scientists in Germany have taken a giant leap towards producing near-limitless, clean energy using nuclear fusion -- the same fiery reaction that takes place in the core of the Sun.

On May 22, the latest experimental campaign concluded at the world's most powerful nuclear fusion device of the stellarator type. Through collaboration between researchers from Europe and the U.S ...
