Fission provides a simple, easy-to-use interface for developers to create serverless functions in their language of choice, without having to worry about the underlying infrastructure. The framework ...

Their findings raise some concerns whilst reducing others; for example, quartz crystals in concrete can heal themselves, potentially allowing some reactors to run for longer than initially thought ...

When this happens, they release around one million times more energy than a chemical reaction and three to four times more than a conventional nuclear fission reactor.

Duke Energy is hoping to get a share of federal funding to help develop next-generation small-scale nuclear reactors of the kind that could go into its Belews Creek station after its planned ...

A research team has clarified the mechanism behind the generation of runaway electrons during the startup phase of a tokamak fusion reactor. The paper, "Binary Nature of Collisions Facilitates ...

By this, not only should fast reactors be able to compete with PWRs on cost. Nuclear needs to be competitive with gas and renewable energy. The main work is done by high-energy neutrons. They have ...

(Bloomberg) — A venture between Uniper SE and Sweden’s Blykalla AB has started work on a test reactor, the latest sign that the nation’s nuclear renaissance is gathering pace. The small plant on the ...

A group of researchers, led by Professors Takashi Hisatomi and Kazunari Domen, built a 100-square-meter reactor that uses sunlight and photocatalysts to split water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

Some worry about the risks of radioactive waste generated by nuclear fission, and others worry ... heat and electricity-producing unit. A nuclear reactor on a floating vessel isn’t ground ...
