A research team from Chalmers University of Technology recently explored the process of nuclear fission in 100 nuclei and published its findings in Nature. With a thorough study that investigated ...

Work on nuclear physics in the early twentieth century moved across borders, institutes and private letters. Lise Meitner was part of that movement for decades, first in Vienna, then in Berlin, later ...

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.

Nuclear power plants generate around one-fifth of electricity in the United States and about 10% globally. Nuclear power is a low-carbon energy source that can be dispatched alongside variable ...
