Meanwhile, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi has reported that the IAEA has lost continuity of knowledge with regard to important equipment and materials in ...

With respect to climate change, 2024 was in many ways similar to 2023: Manifestations of a changed climate continued to be felt increasingly across the world, even as the clean-energy transition ...

In addition, researchers have experimentally demonstrated that MIT, based on atomic magnetometers, can image objects through certain obstacles. This is an effective and fast method for security ...
