Nuclear fission—when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy—may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a ...
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.
Deep Fission has started drilling for its first-of-a-kind "gravity reactor" project in Kansas, which places a 15-megawatt reactor 6,000 feet underground to cut operational costs by up to 80%. The ...
