Reaction as substitute Ollie Watkins scores twice to give Aston Villa a 2-1 comeback win over Chelsea in the Premier League.
China’s experimental thorium molten salt reactor has reportedly achieved sustained thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion, marking a major scientific first. The breakthrough could ease China’s dependence ...
Chinese scientists successfully converted thorium-232 into uranium-233 within an experimental thorium molten salt reactor, validating the technical feasibility of the thorium fuel cycle. This ...
Next time you think you’re having a bad day at work, spare a thought for the contractor who had to be hauled out of a nuclear reactor pool on Tuesday. The accident happened early in the morning at the ...
Sometimes an idea is so elegant that it really deserves to work. One such is a proposal put forward by the boss of Deep Fission, an aspiring nuclear-power firm in Berkeley, California. Elizabeth ...
Clive Neal receives funding from NASA. Apart from the geopolitical importance, there are other reasons why this move is critically important. A source of nuclear energy will be necessary for visiting ...
Electricity demand is soaring, and some think the answer isn’t building bigger, but smaller. That’s the idea behind small modular reactors (SMRs): shrink a large and hard-to-build reactor to something ...
The first space race was about flags and footprints. Now, decades later, landing on the Moon is old news. The new race is to build there, and doing so hinges on power. While it might feel like a ...
Placing an atomic energy source on the lunar surface is “not science fiction,” experts say, but does pose technical challenges. By Kenneth Chang Nuclear reactors have been generating power on Earth ...
The acceleration of nuclear development is part of the Trump administration’s efforts to focus NASA on human spaceflight. A reactor would be useful for long-term stays on the moon. By Kenneth Chang ...
Acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy has directed the agency to fast-track plans to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. Expediting work to place a reactor on the lunar surface to help power moon ...
NASA plans to deploy a 100kW nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, significantly increasing the power output from previous 40kW designs, driven by a desire to establish a sustainable human presence and ...
