Unity, a microreactor from Houston-based Deployable Energy, is the latest of the three to reach criticality as part of a ...

Deployable Energy's one-megawatt (MW) nuclear battery has reached criticality, meeting the US goal of three new reactors ...

Deployable Energy's Unity demonstration reactor has successfully achieved initial criticality at the National Reactor Innovation Center located at Idaho National Laboratory - which means the US has ...

Scientists working at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider may be seeing the strongest hints yet of physics beyond the Standard Model — the decades-old theory that explains the fundamental particles and ...

A tiny discrepancy in particle physics has loomed for decades as an exciting possible crack in one of science's most successful theories, hinting at unknown forces or quantum objects. Now, an ...

Our planet is under a constant bombardment of radiation—from space. Well, maybe it’s not as scary as that makes it seem. “Radiation” is a catchall term astronomers use for forms of light—including ...

Gear-obsessed editors choose every product we review. We may earn commission if you buy from a link. Why Trust Us? Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is ...

A new particle has popped into existence at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider, a heavier proton-like particle that contains two charm quarks. Protons and neutrons are examples of a class of particles ...

Scientists from the University of Manchester have played a leading role in the discovery of a new subatomic particle at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The particle, known as the Ξ cc ⁺ ...

The Sun unleashes a torrent of charged particles. Some of them slam into the Earth’s atmosphere, triggering breathtaking auroras in the night sky. But for equipment that’s orbiting our planet in outer ...

In July 2012, physicists at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Europe triumphantly announced the discovery of the Higgs boson, the long-sought linchpin of the subatomic world. Interacting with Higgs ...

Physicists have long relied on the idea that electrons behave like tiny particles zipping through materials, even though quantum physics says their exact position is fundamentally uncertain. Now, ...
