A small amount of radioactive debris removed by a robot from Japan's stricken Fukushima nuclear plant has arrived at a research lab near Tokyo, the plant operator said Tuesday, after a journey kept secret for safety reasons.

Bharat Atomic Research Centre MSc Admission: Each programme has five non-sponsored and five sponsored seats.

NASA’s Power to Explore Challenge calls on U.S. students to submit ideas for moon missions powered by radioisotope systems. The contest encourages kindergarten through Year 12 students to envision a mission, detail objectives, and apply their unique “power” to achieve mission success. Entries are due by January 31, 2025, and grand prize winne...

Scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California are exploring new techniques for creating superheavy elements, focusing on the potential synthesis of “element 120,” also called unbinilium. If successful, this addition could lead to an eighth row on the periodic table. Using ion bombardment, researchers demonstrated a process t...

Researchers at Lehigh University are investigating how mayonnaise can aid in understanding material behaviours during nuclear fusion experiments. By simulating the conditions in which fuel capsules melt and transition from elastic to plastic states, they hope to gain insights that can improve fusion reactions.

Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories have discovered that exploding a nuclear bomb near an asteroid may produce X-rays powerful enough to push it off course. Instead of blowing the asteroid apart, the method involves vaporising its surface to alter its trajectory. Using the Z Machine, the world’s most powerful X-ray source, they successf...

A new milestone in atomic physics has been reached with the development of the thorium-229 nuclear clock. This advanced clock offers a precision level that could potentially reveal whether the fundamental constants of physics, such as the speed of light and gravitational constant, change over time. Detected by Chuankun Zhang and his team at JILA, t...

US researchers recently located the deployment site of Russia's new nuclear-powered, nuclear-armed cruise missile, the 9M370 Burevestnik. Nicknamed "flying Chernobyl," the missile has been touted by President Putin as "invincible."

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...

At Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, scientists have achieved a significant milestone by creating livermorium with a novel titanium-based method. This success is seen as a precursor to synthesizing unbinilium, the heaviest element. The research highlights the importance of advancing techniques in element synthesis to explore new frontiers in a...

Mayonnaise continues to help researchers better understand the physics behind nuclear fusion.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, a premier multi-disciplinary nuclear research centre, has developed a module for modular building of nuclear energy centres, Nirmala Sitharaman told NDTV.

Nine nuclear-armed nations including the US, Russia, France, China, India and Pakistan, continued to modernise their nuclear arsenals and several of them deployed new nuclear-capable weapon systems in 2023, a Swedish think-tank said on Monday.

The role of atomic weapons has become more prominent and nuclear states are modernising arsenals as geopolitical relations deteriorate, researchers said Monday, urging world leaders to "step back and reflect".

The laser is installed at a centre near Bucharest. It is located near a nuclear research facility that had long housed a Soviet reactor, as per the outlet.
