To ensure an adequate supply of neutrons to drive the fission process, a conventional nuclear reactor must operate at a level that is self-sustaining: at least as many neutrons are produced as are ...

Due to the extreme importance of this discovery, I should be glad to add a few comments on the mechanism of the fission process from the point of view of the general ideas, developed in recent ...

Gene regulation underpins nearly every biological process—from cell development to responses to environmental changes, and ...

There are no CO 2 or other harmful atmospheric emissions from the fusion process, which means that fusion does not contribute to greenhouse gas emissions or global warming. Its two sources of fuel, ...

N uclear fission—when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy—may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since ...
