Fukuoka, Japan—In organic molecules an exciton is a particle bound pair of an electron (negative charge) and its hole (positive charge). They are held together by Coulombic attraction and can move ...

A five-dimensional model accurately predicts the asymmetric fission of mercury isotopes, advancing our understanding of nuclear fission beyond traditional heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Although nuclear fission, which powers nuclear reactors, can provide plenty of energy, it also produces potentially dangerous ...

A breakthrough this week in nuclear fusion could point the way to a future of carbon-free power. In a press conference Tuesday in California, the Department of Energy revealed that at 1:03 a.m. Dec. 5 ...

"As we’ve acquired more observations, the cosmos is saying 'hey, there’s a signature here, and it can only come from fission.'" When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission ...

An international team of researchers, including scientists from Science Tokyo, has developed a five-dimensional Langevin model that accurately reproduces the complex fission fragment distributions and ...
