A global nuclear energy resurgence is underway, driven by the need for a stable, low-carbon energy mix and massive electricity demand projections spurred by the artificial intelligence boom. Deep ...

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 ...

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.
