It is used in imaging processes and also shows potential for cancer therapy. However, it does not occur naturally and must be ...

Thousands of meters underground, in the chthonic depths of Earth's crust, scientists have at long last caught solar neutrinos in the act of transforming carbon-13 into nitrogen-13.

Researchers at TU Wien have developed a new way to produce the medically important isotope Cu-64: using neutron irradiation ...

Nuclear clocks are a technology researchers have been working toward for decades. New research in theoretical physics brings them closer to reality.

In 2008, a team of UCLA-led scientists proposed a scheme to use a laser to excite the nucleus of thorium atoms to realize extremely accurate, portable clocks. Last year, they realized this ...

Scientists finally caught solar neutrinos triggering a rare atomic transformation once thought nearly impossible to observe.

Last year, a UCLA-led team accomplished something scientists have been trying to do for 50 years. They made radioactive thorium nuclei absorb and ...

Scientists just brought us one step closer to the dream of unlimited power. On November 17 at the Nevada National Security Site, a nuclear energy startup called Valar Atomics achieved zero-power ...

Once a testing ground for Soviet weapons, the country is using a unique facility to find materials that withstand plasma that ...

From a particle smasher encircling the moon to an “impossible” laser, five scientists reveal the experiments they would run ...
