Workers at the Research Institute of Atomic Reactors (RIAR) in Dimitrovgrad, Russia, have installed what they call the world’s largest multipurpose fast neutron research reactor, or MBIR, at the site.

A neutron star pileup may have emitted two different kinds of cosmic signals: ripples in spacetime known as gravitational waves and a brief blip of energy called a fast radio burst. One of the three ...

Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the greater mysteries facing astronomers today, rivaled only by gravitational waves (GWs) and gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). Originally discovered in 2007 by American ...

Every now and then, astronomers will detect an odd kind of radio signal. So powerful it can outshine a galaxy, but lasting only milliseconds. They are known as fast radio bursts (FRBs). When they were ...

France-headquartered innovative nuclear energy company Newcleo has submitted a Regulatory Engagement Plan to the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission for the LFR-AS-200, the commercial 200 MWe version of ...

The results of the Chi-Nu physics experiment at Los Alamos National Laboratory have contributed essential, never-before-observed data for enhancing nuclear security applications, understanding ...

Neutrons are central to the operation of the atomic bomb. Fast neutrons are emitted in fission; for every fission, more than a single neutron leaks out of the active material. Measuring those neutrons ...

Neutron stars, the remnants of massive stars after a supernova, are among the densest and most fascinating objects in the universe. Recent discoveries have indicated that some neutron stars are ...

How fast can a neutron star spin? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal hopes to address as an international team of more than a dozen researchers have identified one of ...
