DARPA’s nuclear space rocket project is progressing, with contracts awarded to General Atomics, Blue Origin, and Lockheed Martin for the first phase of the agency’s Demonstration Rocket for Agile Cislunar Operations (DRACO) program. The goal is to plac… Continue reading DARPA awards contracts for orbital nuclear propulsion demonstrator
For nearly a century, scientists have been tantalized by the prospect of attaining an inexhaustible source of energy through nuclear fusion. Unfortunately, engineering a controlled environment where atomic nuclei can continuously fuse under extreme pre… Continue reading Four ways to fusion: The pros and pitfalls of our nuclear power pursuit

Wind, solar, geothermal, hydro, wave energy … Renewable sources are a crucial pillar of any plan to decarbonize the world’s energy generation industries and eliminate fossil fuel use. But for many reasons – intermittency, location dependency, land re… Continue reading Bill Gates’s next-gen nuclear plant packs in grid-scale energy storage
Haunted by Trump, House Democrats sent a letter to Biden asking the new President to give up some of his nuclear powers. Continue reading Democrats Ask Biden to Give Up His Unilateral Power to Launch Nukes
We’re all too familiar with the inexorable march of time, but why exactly it flows in one direction remains a mystery of physics. A few years ago Australian physicist Joan Vaccaro proposed a new quantum theory of time, and now a team is planning to tes… Continue reading Physicists to look for quantum time dilation inside nuclear reactor
In a list of walls that you’d want to stay strong, those in a nuclear reactor would be near the top. Now, researchers have found that the walls in a decommissioned power plant in Japan have not only kept their strength but have actually gotten stronger… Continue reading Ancient Roman concrete mineral found strengthening nuclear reactor walls
Rolls-Royce and the UK Space Agency have signed an agreement to study the application of nuclear energy in space exploration. The first contract between the two organizations, the project will examine how nuclear energy can both power spacecraft and be… Continue reading Rolls-Royce and UK Space Agency pursue nuclear-powered space exploration
While harnessing the power of the Sun has progressed in leaps and bounds in recent years, harnessing the process that powers the Sun is proving a tough nut to crack. However, progress continues to be made on the various approaches to practical nuclear … Continue reading KSTAR fusion device maintains 100 million degrees for record 20 seconds
The US Department of Energy (DOE) is backing five projects to develop advanced nuclear reactor designs to be built in the United States by private industry. Under the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program (ARDP), the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy’s U… Continue reading US Department of Energy backs five advanced nuclear reactor concepts
