The supply chain must prepare itself both locally and globally for the expected rapid growth in nuclear generating capacity, delegates heard at the first conference organised by World Nuclear ...

The nuclear supply chain will need to expand and innovate in order to facilitate the tripling of nuclear capacity by 2050, panellists agreed during a session at World Nuclear Symposium 2024. However, ...

Scientists have gained insights into the weak nuclear force from new, more sensitive studies of the beta decays of the 'mirror' nuclei lithium-8 and boron-8. The weak nuclear force drives the process ...

Certain isotopes such as Indium-115 (In-115) are extremely long lived, taking over 100 trillon years for half of the Indium atoms to decay away. These isotopes allow scientists to probe the precise ...

Radioactive decay is a fundamental process in nature by which an unstable atomic nucleus loses energy by radiation. Studying nuclear decay modes is crucial for understanding properties of atomic ...

Scientists have observed a brand-new and exotic atomic nucleus: aluminium-20. Unlike anything seen before, it decays through a stunning three-proton emission sequence, shedding light on nuclear ...
