NASA Aims to Deploy Nuclear Reactor on Moon by 2030 for Strategic Power
NASA is accelerating plans to deploy a 100-kilowatt nuclear reactor on the Moon by 2030, according to interim head Sean Duffy. The reactor would ensure steady power through long lunar nights and help secure water-ice resources at the Moon’s south pole. China and Russia also aim for lunar reactors by the mid-2030s, sparking a geopolitical “moon ...

Gold Defies Physics: Remains Solid at 14x Its Melting Point in Superheating Experiment
Gold has amazed scientists by remaining solid under extreme temperatures—14 times its standard melting point—due to superheating. The study highlights how conventional physics may not fully explain ultra-fast reactions. These groundbreaking results, published in collaboration with international labs, have far-reaching implications for high-ener...

Astronomers Discover Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered extreme nuclear transients — rare and powerful explosions caused by stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, were observed using data from Gaia and ZTF. As the most energetic cosmic outbursts since the Big Bang, they offer valuable insights into blac...

Scientists Discover Heaviest Proton-Emitting Nucleus After Nearly 30 Years
Researchers at Finland’s University of Jyväskylä have identified astatine-188, the heaviest atomic nucleus yet known to undergo proton emission. This rare radioactive decay challenges established nuclear models and offers new insight into the structure and stability of exotic isotopes. The breakthrough, published in Nature Communications, marks...

China and Russia Sign Deal to Build Lunar Nuclear Power Plant by 2036
China and Russia have agreed to build a nuclear-powered lunar station by 2036, aiming to outpace NASA’s delayed Artemis mission. The reactor will power a permanent research base at the Moon’s south pole and be constructed autonomously, according to Roscosmos. The deal marks a major step in their joint plan for long-term lunar and Mars explorati...

AMoRE Experiment Sets New Benchmark in Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Research
The AMoRE experiment has made significant progress in refining the limits of neutrinoless double beta decay using molybdenum-100. While AMoRE-I set a new upper limit on the decay halflife, no clear signal was observed. The next phase, AMoRE-II, is being developed at Yemilab with enhanced detection systems to further explore this rare nuclear proces...

Pulsar Fusion’s Nuclear Fusion Rockets May Revolutionise Space Travel
UK-based Pulsar Fusion has revealed plans for Sunbird, a nuclear fusion-powered rocket that could change space exploration. The company says this technology could reduce travel time to Mars and beyond by half. Sunbirds will act as space tugs, attaching to spacecraft in orbit and propelling them further. Initial tests will be conducted in vacuum cha...
