An international team of scientists has identified an unexpected region of heavy, neutron-deficient isotopes in the nuclear chart where nuclear fission is predominantly governed by an asymmetric mode.

Outdone only by nuclear fusion, the process of nuclear fission releases enormous amounts of energy. The ‘spicy rocks’ that are at the core of both natural and artificial fission reactors are generally ...

Deep Fission, a small modular nuclear reactor (SMR) developer, has partnered with Endeavour Energy, a US sustainable infrastructure developer, to develop and deploy nuclear fission to power AI data ...

Deep Fission has started drilling for its first-of-a-kind "gravity reactor" project in Kansas, which places a 15-megawatt reactor 6,000 feet underground to cut operational costs by up to 80%. The ...

Deep Fission, Inc. (“Deep Fission” or the “Company”), an advanced nuclear energy company developing small modular pressurized water reactors installed one mile underground, today announced it has ...

In 1972, French scientists discovered a natural nuclear reactor in Gabon's Oklo uranium deposit. Analysis revealed less ...

The reason for the absence of exploration on the Moon for such a long time has been the harsh conditions, devoid of power.
