There is no good place to be when a nuclear bomb goes off. Anything too close is instantly vaporized, and radiation poses a serious threat.

Radioactive diamond batteries were immediately acclaimed because they promised a new, cost-effective way of recycling nuclear waste.

A teen genius at a U.S. middle school has built a working, tiny nuclear fusion reactor—and made it into Guinness World Records.

Radioactive diamond batteries were first developed in 2016 and promised a new, cost-effective way of recycling nuclear waste.

Researchers have optimized the design of a nuclear battery generating power from the beta decay of nickel-63, a radioactive isotope.

Scientists have achieved a remarkable breakthrough in the design of twisty stellarators and their ability to hold fusion fuel together

Nuclear power generation can play a crucial role in helping the world reach a key goal of zero carbon emissions by the middle of the century

Nuclear scientists have used a powerful particle accelerator to create matter directly from collisions of light.

NASA and the nation's top federal nuclear research lab on Friday put out a request for proposals for a fission surface power system.

Nuclear war would cause many immediate fatalities, but smoke from the resulting fires would also cause climate change lasting up to 15 years

Firing a nuclear warhead at a small asteroid on a collision course with the Earth could stop 99 percent of it from hitting the planet.

Think of light bulb filaments that glow when you flip a switch. That glow also occurs in magnetic fusion facilities known as tokamaks

Ignition is a key process that amplifies the energy output from nuclear fusion and could provide clean energy and answer physics questions

New system developed by MIT could reduce water needs at power plants potentially helping alleviate water shortages in those areas.

Factory-built microreactors trucked to usage sites could be a safe, efficient option for decarbonizing electricity systems.
