Powering spacecraft with solar energy may not seem like a challenge, given how intense the Sun’s light can feel on Earth. Spacecraft near the Earth use large solar panels to harness the Sun for the ...
China has reportedly achieved the world’s first successful thorium-to-uranium fuel conversion in an operational molten salt reactor, potentially reshaping global nuclear energy and shifting ...
Deep in the sagebrush steppe of southeast Idaho on December 20, 1951, a team of nuclear physicists gathered around four 200-watt lightbulbs dangling from a slack wire. Then, Harold Lichtenberger, the ...
