In this week’s edition of The Prototype, we look at new advances in fusion power, how the new budget bill undermines clean ...

Discovery of 257Sg and its K-isomer reveals new insights into superheavy element fission and quantum stability mechanisms.

The precursors of heavy elements might arise in the plasma underbellies of swollen stars or in smoldering stellar corpses.

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

PureTech presented results of an open-label extension study of itsidiopathic pulmonary fibrosis candidate deupirfenidone, showing its durability.

The site spans about 2,500 acres and has been active for over a decade. What is the site’s alleged nuclear purpose? According to NCRI and sources linked to the Mojahedin-e-Khalq Organization, or MKO, ...

Tritium, a rare, radioactive isotope of hydrogen, is difficult and expensive to source. “Breeder” reactors seek to manufacture tritium by bombarding lithium with neutrons.

By using deuterium, a stable isotope of hydrogen, this study addresses the common challenge of distinguishing between hydrogen introduced during sample preparation and that which is naturally present.

In comparison, deuterium was only found at tetrahedral sites. This understanding will allow control of hydride nanofilm properties to discover new hydrogen-induced phenomena.

Although it is the smallest and lightest atom, hydrogen can have a big impact by infiltrating other materials and affecting their properties, such as superconductivity and metal-insulator ...

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms (uranium) into smaller atoms (such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few) whereas fusion is combining light ...
