A multibillion-dollar project is set to be constructed in China, the country's latest move in a push for nuclear energy.

Researchers have found an environmentally safer way to extract the lithium 6 needed to create fuel for nuclear fusion ...

Nuclear fission – the physical process by which very large atoms like uranium split into pairs of smaller atoms – is what makes nuclear bombs and nuclear power plants possible. But for many years, ...

Nuclear fission does not release the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide. A controlled nuclear fission reaction releases one million times more energy per kg than a chemical reaction such as burning ...

Fermi, among others, realized that nuclear fission was accompanied by the release of colossal amounts of energy from the conversion of mass into energy (according to Einstein's mass-energy ...
