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.

Scientists replicated their breakthrough December 2022 nuclear fusion experiment. But this time, they produced even more energy from the experiment than the first time. These experiments are history ...

This marks the beginning sustained nuclear fission chain reaction and brings the reactor one decisive step away from full operation.

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous ...
