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...

Here's How Nuclear Clocks Could Redefine Time and Reshape Modern Technology
Timekeeping is entering a new era with nuclear clocks, capable of achieving accuracy to the 19th decimal place. Current atomic clocks rely on caesium-133, but innovations with thorium-229’s nuclear transitions, excited by ultraviolet light, promise unprecedented precision. Scientists aim to redefine the second using elements like strontium by 203...
