The U.S. government has launched the process to develop a regulatory framework to develop fusion machines as emerging nuclear ...

Governments and private developers worldwide are accelerating nuclear fusion research amid technical breakthroughs that could bring commercial-scale, clean energy closer to reality.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has proposed the first dedicated federal licensing framework for commercial ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

Martin Kamen and Samuel Ruben's discovery of the radioactive isotope carbon-14 in 1940 helped usher in a new era of dating ...

Getting an up-close view of life at the cellular level can be as simple as placing onion skin under a microscope and adjusting the knobs. Peering deeper, into the heart of the atoms within, isn't as ...

CRESST is an experiment designed for light WIMPs (weakly interacting massive particles), which are dark matter particles. The detection principle is based on a behavior familiar from billiard: when a ...

New research reveals that active supermassive black holes can suppress star formation in neighboring galaxies across vast ...

A peer-reviewed study published in Science has documented frequent new particle formation during a heat wave, a phenomenon ...

Formic acid is classified as a molecule with all of its atoms arranged in a single plane. A Goethe University research team, in collaboration with cooperation partners, has now experimentally proved ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

Fresh observations from the James Webb Space Telescope show how vivid auroras surge through Uranus’s tilted magnetic field ...
