Muons tend to scatter more from high-atomic-number materials, so the technique is particularly sensitive to the presence of materials such as uranium. As a result, it has been used to create systems ...

A study found that these cosmic bodies appear to hold up remarkably well to sudden energy deposition and shock conditions, so ...

Researchers have demonstrated, for the first time, that transfer learning can significantly enhance material Z-class identification in muon tomography, even in scenarios with limited or completely ...

Just after 9 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, final beams of oxygen ions—oxygen atoms stripped of their electrons—circulated ...

Georgia Tech’s Qi Tang is building machine learning (ML) models to accelerate nuclear fusion research, making it more affordable and more accurate. Backed by a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy ...

Your brain calculates complex physics every day and you don't even notice. This neuromorphic chip taps into the same idea.

From “research isn’t for me” to designing gamma-ray detectors and studying in Japan—Lincoln Potts turned one small yes into a ...

The Department of Energy (DOE) has released specifications for 26 artificial intelligence (AI) challenges under its Genesis Mission that could reshape how ...

Ryan Milton, a fourth-year doctoral student in nuclear physics at UC Riverside, has been awarded a U.S. Department of ...

Scientists in the US have developed a new glowing surrogate nuclear reactor that replaces ...

A 12-year-old student from Dallas has successfully produced nuclear fusion after four years of work and is now seeking recognition from Guinness World Records as the youngest person to achieve the ...

Many people don’t realize how close they live to a nuclear facility or stockpile. In this video, we explore the areas with the highest concentrations of nuclear weapons and what it means for nearby ...
