Researchers have identified rare proton emissions that reveal how the neck of a nucleus stretches and snaps, providing a new ...

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. The discovery of nuclear fission in ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

A five-dimensional (5D) Langevin approach developed by an international team of researchers, including members from Science Tokyo, accurately reproduces complex fission fragment distributions and ...

February 12, 2026: For at least six years, China has been testing 4th Generation nuclear weapons. First Generation was fission atomic bombs using uranium-235 or plutonium-239. These were the bombs ...

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 ...

Repurposing surplus plutonium as reactor fuel could cut costs, ease the advanced nuclear fuel bottleneck, and offer a more permanent nonproliferation solution than dilute and dispose. America has some ...
