America's 450 nuclear missile silos exist, at least in part, to be destroyed in a nuclear attack. USA TODAY breaks down the ...

Through theoretical derivation, researchers have concluded that a simple linear relationship exists between the reactivity of molten salt reactors and the reciprocal of uranium concentration in the ...

This video unravels the mystery of the so-called "radioactive bus," explaining how it became contaminated, the science behind its radiation levels, and the safety measures involved. It provides a ...

A new theory claims dark matter and dark energy don’t exist — they’re just side effects of the universe’s changing forces. By rethinking gravity and cosmic timelines, it could rewrite our ...

ABSTRACT: We present a theoretical model for detecting axions from neutron stars in a QCD phase of quark matter. The axions would be produced from a quark-antiquark pair u u ¯ or d d ¯ , in loop(s) ...

The IAEA’s ‘Nuclear Explained’ series takes scientific and technical subjects related to nuclear topics and makes them easier to understand. Delve into our top explainers in 2024 to find out how ...

Introduction: We investigate possible correlations between the stiffness of the symmetry energy at saturation density, the so-called L parameter, and the neutron skin thickness of 48 Ca and 208 Pb, ...

J. Robert Oppenheimer is largely known to history for his work on the Manhattan Project, the US government’s secret wartime nuclear bomb development project. That project would result in the bombs ...
