A team of scientists from China’s Northeast Normal University has developed an electrochemical method for extracting uranium from ordinary seawater that has the potential to supply humanity with an effectively unlimited energy source.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Electrified cloth extracts uranium from seawater
The insides of nuclear fusion reactors are violent and chaotic places. A new cold-spray coating can take the heat and also trap some rogue hydrogen particles at the same time, potentially making for smaller, better plasma chambers.Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading Tantalum cold spray boosts potential of fusion reactor chambers
China claims to have brought the world’s first Generation IV commercial nuclear reactor online. The Shidao Bay Nuclear Power Plant HTR-PM high-temperature gas-cooled (HTGR) pebble-bed reactor in Shidao Bay, Shandong Province, reportedly went into servi… Continue reading China brings world’s first Generation IV nuclear reactor online
Rolls-Royce gave us a glimpse of the nuclear future of next-generation spacecraft and Moon bases when it unveiled a mock-up of its Space Micro-Reactor Concept Model at the UK Space Conference in Belfast, which ran between November 21 to 31, 2023.Contin… Continue reading Rolls-Royce unveils mock-up of future Moon reactor
Scientists have uncovered hints of a world of new elements beyond the periodic table. A new study has found that ancient stars may have been producing extremely heavy elements that remain unknown to science.Continue ReadingCategory: Physics, ScienceTag… Continue reading Ancient stars may have forged superheavy elements unknown to science

Russia’s much-hyped Avangard missile makes an appearance on state TV weeks after Russia de-ratified a nuclear test-ban treaty. Continue reading Russia Televises New Nuclear-Capable Hypersonic Missile Being Loaded Into Silo
Under a US$33.7-million Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) contract, Lockheed Martin is developing a next-generation nuclear-reactor-powered spacecraft for the Joint Emergent Technology Supplying On-Orbit Nuclear (JETSON) High Power program.Continue … Continue reading Lockheed Martin tapped to build nuclear-powered deep-space probe
Since the 1960s, researchers have been turning to an unlikely harvesting ground for uranium: the world’s oceans. Now, an Australian-led team has moved the prospect of sea-based uranium harvesting another step forward with a cheap and easy-to-make mater… Continue reading New neodymium-doped material can fish uranium out of seawater
This week, an expert on nuclear weapons stops by to discuss how we tell aliens about the dangers of nuclear waste. Continue reading CYBER: Space Junk, Nuclear Waste, AI Nukes and the Reason We’re All Still Here
