Deep Fission is betting that the safest place for a nuclear reactor is not behind thicker concrete walls but a mile beneath our feet. The California startup wants to sink compact power plants into ...

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 ...

The singlet fission experiment captured energy with high efficiency. (Kyushu University) Scientists are always pushing the boundaries of solar cell efficiency – how much of the available sunshine gets ...

When it comes to nuclear energy, human engineering and the rest of the universe are a bit at odds. The countless stars that light up the night sky are all fueled by the fires of nuclear fusion, where ...
