Innovative startup Deep Fission is pioneering next-generation nuclear energy by deploying a "gravity reactor" in a mile-deep borehole, a design that promises to slash operational costs by up to 80% ...

An international collaboration of scientists working with the FAIR Phase 0 program at the GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung in Darmstadt, Germany, has made an unexpected discovery of a ...

Nuclear startup Deep Fission announced Monday that it has gone public in a reverse merger, netting the company $30 million. No, it’s not 2021. The startup is proposing to build small, cylindrical ...

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

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 ...

Today’s pressurized water reactors (PWRs) are marvels of nuclear fission technology that enable gigawatt-scale power stations in a very compact space. Though they are extremely safe, with only the TMI ...

An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

Analytical chemist Friedrich Strassmann played a crucial role in discovering nuclear fission with Otto Hahn and Lise Meitner, but his principled opposition to Nazi ideology nearly destroyed his career ...

Ultra-pure nuclear fuel is quietly becoming one of the most strategic technologies in the energy transition, with the United States racing to build its own supply for a new generation of compact ...
