Radioisotope thermoelectric generators do not rely on chemical reactions like the batteries in your phone. Instead, they rely on the radioactive decay of elements to produce heat and eventually ...

Consequently, even though it is one of the closest stars to Earth, such that its light takes only six years to get here, it ...

Severus is the main plot device in Steven Soderbergh and David Koepp's espionage thriller Black Bag and is capable of mass ...

The Startup Pulsar Fusion is proposing a 2 Megawatt nuclear fusion orbital components for 2027. Pulsar has now proceeded to phase 3, the manufacture of the ...

Nuclear pulse propulsion is a technology that would work. It was being developed in the 1960s. It was stopped because of the nuclear test ban treaty and ...

Astronomers have figured out where a stream of long radio bursts is coming from, and its origin is unprecedented. Rather than ...

Earth’s core could contain helium from the early solar system. The noble gas tucks into gaps in iron crystals under high pressure and temperature.

The discovery that inert helium can form bonds with iron may reshape our understanding of Earth’s history. Researchers from ...

These results suggest that similar reactions between helium and iron may have occurred within Earth’s core shortly after its formation, trapping much of the primordial helium-3 in the material that ...

Blazars are active galaxies that emit narrow jets of ionised matter from their centres, aimed towards Earth. Depending on ...

Scientists have uncovered surprising evidence that helium, a gas long thought to be chemically inert, may actually bond with ...

The path to removing the plant’s estimated 880 tons of nuclear debris is fraught with technical and human risks ...
