Scientists use light-emitting crystals and solar panels to turn the latent energy in nuclear waste into microbatteries.

Scientists have demonstrated how to manipulate light by using time-varying media in the form of specialized nanomaterials.

Fission splits a heavy element (with a high atomic mass number ... The activation of the reactor’s structural material by intense neutron fluxes is another issue. This strongly depends on what ...

Molten Salt Reactors (MSRs) are nuclear fission reactors in which either the fuel and/or the coolant is a molten salt. Molten salt is salt which liquifies at elevated temperatures and can store ...
