Though the country’s nuclear arsenal has undergone no explosive testing for decades, federal experts say it can reliably obliterate targets halfway around the globe.

Tungsten alloys, specifically, provide "grain boundaries [that] serve as sinks for radiation defects," per Nature. Meanwhile, constructing neutron moderators from ceramic — which in turn is composed of elements that excel in neutron capture — may help minimize the hazardous waste output that comes with neutron interaction.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on Sunday that his country will rebuild its nuclear facilities “with greater vigour”, as he reiterated Iran's unwillingness to build a nuclear weapon. Vie

Harnessing the reaction that powers the stars could offer potentially unlimited carbon-free energy, and the race is hotting up

A recent survey uncovered several mysterious objects in the night sky, photographed before the first satellite ever made it to space.

Space missions in the future could travel to Mars, asteroids and the outer solar system by riding on nuclear-powered rockets, thanks to a new design that utilizes energy from the nuclear fission of liquid uranium to heat propellant.

President Donald Trump reiterated Friday that he wants testing of US nuclear weapons but again failed to clarify whether he meant live explosions in a directive that has provoked global

The country faces a slew of safety, ethical and logistical challenges to restart long-halted nuclear tests. It could still happen.
