Only Certain Uranium Can Fuel Weapons. Here’s What Enrichment Involves

Physics /

When people hear “uranium,” they often picture mushroom clouds, Cold War tensions, or glowing green rods straight out of science fiction. But uranium is more than just a symbol of nuclear threat—it’s a relatively common element with vital uses in energy production, medical treatments, and global politics. The element returned to international focus in June

The Nuclear Company Secures $46M To Develop Major Reactor Facilities

Nuclear & Particles, Physics /

The Nuclear Company is embracing a traditional strategy for constructing new nuclear reactors. Instead of creating a brand-new design or focusing on mass production of smaller models, the company plans to build a series of reactors based on proven, existing designs. Nuclear Startup Secures $46.3 Million in Series A Funding, Eyes $51.3 Million Goal The

Watch: New Structures Shrink Instead of Stretching When Pulled

Physics /

Researchers in the Netherlands have developed innovative mechanical structures that, surprisingly, contract — or more precisely, snap inward — rather than expand when pulled. The Science Behind the Phenomenon While it may sound counterintuitive, this unexpected behavior is the result of a creative approach that combines geometry and mechanics, devised by scientists at the AMOLF

Revolutionary Gravity Finding Moves Us Nearer To A Theory Of Everything

Physics, Theoretical Physics /

A novel approach to understanding gravity may help bridge the long-standing divide between gravity and quantum mechanics. Physicists Mikko Partanen and Jukka Tulkki from Aalto University in Finland have proposed a new perspective on gravity that they claim aligns with the Standard Model of particle physics, which explains the Universe’s other three fundamental forces: the strong,

Physicists Discover a New Way to Measure Time

Physics, Quantum Physics /

While in our everyday lives measuring time is simply a matter of counting the seconds between the past and the present, things work quite differently in the quantum world. At microscopic scales, events don’t follow a predictable order, and the “now” often blurs with the “before,” rendering conventional stopwatches useless in certain contexts. An Innovative

Physicists Create Quantum Rubik’s Cube and Discover the Best Way to Solve It

Quantum Physics /

Quantum physics is already a puzzle in itself — and now, researchers have taken that quite literally. A team of mathematicians from the University of Colorado Boulder has developed a quantum version of the Rubik’s Cube, featuring infinite possible configurations and strange new moves that make the challenge even more complex. The Classic Cube and

New Fuel Transforms US Nuclear Reactor From Regular To Premium

Physics /

A U.S. nuclear reactor has taken a major technological step forward by adopting a more advanced type of fuel. Southern Nuclear inserted four Lead Test Assemblies (LTAs) into the Vogtle Unit 2 reactor in Waynesboro, Georgia. These assemblies use uranium enriched above 5% — a first for commercial reactors in the United States. In general,

Laser Cooling Breakthrough Could Make Data Centers Much More Sustainable

Physics /

Although people usually associate lasers with heating — quickly, precisely, and from a distance — researchers can also use them to cool things down under certain conditions.That function might be key to solving the overheating issues in data centers. Innovative Partnership for Thermal Solutions Sandia Labs, a U.S. government-funded research center, is teaming up with
