The idea of powering a house with a single atom might seem like science fiction, but recent advancements in nuclear physics ...

As each uranium atom breaks apart, it shoots out neutrons that can go on to split other atoms. But the neutrons are much more likely to trigger new fission events if they are slowed down.

This electronic structure determines many of the defining characteristics of an atom or molecule, including their chemical, optical, and electrical properties. Latest Research and Reviews ...

When Israeli aircraft recently struck a uranium-enrichment complex in the nation, Iran could have been days away from achieving “breakout,” the ability to quickly turn “yellowcake” uranium ...

Enrichment is the process of altering the uranium atom to create nuclear fuel. Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also said on Tuesday that his country does not need US permission to ...

Stallion Uranium Corp. reports promising findings from its initial drilling program at the Appaloosa target within the Coffer Project, indicating a large conductive structure with characteristics ...

--Standard Uranium Ltd. is pleased to announce that the winter drill program at its 100% owned Sun Dog Project has been completed and crews demobilized prior to ice road closure April 1 st. Sun ...

Uranium is a story of duality. It is a mineral pulled from ancient rocks that can light up a city or wipe one off the map. It’s not just a relic of the Cold War or science fiction. It’s real, it’s ...

The natural, porous structure of the cloth created many tiny pockets for the amidoxime to nestle in and easily trap the uranyl ions. In experiments, the researchers placed the coated cloth as a ...

He had just learned that nuclear chemists in Germany had recently done the impossible — split a uranium atom — and decided to spill the beans to notable physicist Enrico Fermi.

In their latest atomic synthesis, nuclear physicists have produced the heaviest atom known to man, a new isotope of the element mendelevium, which itself was first artificially created in 1965.
