Nuclear fission is a substantial part of the world’s energy mix, but out in the broader universe, fission is much harder to come by. Now, a new study from Los Alamos National Laboratory and North ...

Fusion startup Zap Energy is adding nuclear fission to its quest for nuclear power, naming Zabrina Johal as CEO to lead the ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

Surprise! Fusion startup Zap Energy says it will be developing fission reactors alongside its fusion devices.

How nuclear energy and then electricity are produced is often feared as rocket science. The fact is that it is not that ...

The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission ...

Deep Fission has started drilling for its first-of-a-kind "gravity reactor" project in Kansas, which places a 15-megawatt reactor 6,000 feet underground to cut operational costs by up to 80%. The ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

Parsons, Kansas, may be the site of a California startup's first ever 1-mile-deep nuclear reactor - with support from county commissioners, both Republican Kansas U.S. senators and Democratic Gov.
