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...

World's Fastest Supercomputer El Capitan Begins Operations: Everything You Need to Know
El Capitan, the world’s fastest supercomputer, is now operational at LLNL. Costing $600 million, it delivers a peak performance of 2.746 exaFLOPS. Designed for classified U.S. nuclear security research, it replaces the Sierra supercomputer and is powered by over 11 million cores. With advancements in high-energy physics, nuclear data analysis, an...

NASA, General Atomics Test Nuclear Fuel for Faster Mars Missions
NASA and General Atomics conducted key tests on nuclear reactor fuel at Marshall Space Flight Center. The fuel was exposed to extreme temperatures to assess its viability for nuclear thermal propulsion. With successful results, the technology could enable faster space travel, reducing risks for astronauts on long-duration missions. NASA and DARPA a...

Moon’s Deepest Canyons Formed in Minutes by High-Speed Impact Debris
Reports reveal that two gigantic canyons on the moon, deeper than the Grand Canyon, were formed in under ten minutes due to the rapid movement of rock debris following the impact that created Schrödinger basin. These canyons, Vallis Schrödinger and Vallis Planck, were carved by debris traveling at speeds of up to 4,600 km/h. Scientists suggest th...

Compact Neutrino Detector Successfully Identifies Antineutrinos at Nuclear Reactor
A new study reveals that a small neutrino detector, weighing less than three kilograms, has successfully detected antineutrinos at the Leibstadt Nuclear Power Plant in Switzerland. Over a 119-day experiment, the device recorded around 400 antineutrinos, matching theoretical predictions. Researchers believe this breakthrough could enhance nuclear mo...
