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.

By comparison, in the first round of results, in patients who had received deupirfenidone for 26 weeks, the FVC decline came in at -21.5 mL. This result was also within the expected natural ...

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.

Experimentation and Methodology The study involved a series of meticulous experiments to understand hydrogen behavior in X65 steel: Use of Deuterium as a Proxy: Deuterium, a heavier isotope of ...

The article, “Isotope-dependent site occupation of hydrogen in epitaxial titanium hydride nanofilms,” was published in Nature Communications at DOI: 10.1038/s41467-024-53838-6.

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 ...
