The company’s ambitious new Sunbird design aims to harness nuclear fusion in space, despite the fact that commercializing ...

CERN’s LHCb experiment confirms CP violation in baryons, marking a milestone in particle physics; Japan unveils the world’s ...

So Jarrott and his Focused Energy colleague Jacob Peterson decided to set off on their own, founding Hexium with an eye ...

Particle-accelerator study focuses on the r-process thought to be responsible for forming elements heavier than iron ...

they believed the uranium nucleus, rather than splitting, captured some neutrons. These captured neutrons were then converted into positively charged protons and thus transformed the uranium into the ...

April 14, 1932 was a day that transformed subatomic physics forever as a lithium atom was split using a proton beam.

British startup Pulsar Fusion has unveiled Sunbird, a space rocket concept designed to meet spacecraft in orbit, attach to them, and carry them to their destination at breakneck speed using nuclear ...

Unlike conventional chemical rockets, Sunbird relies on nuclear fusion – a process that replicates the energy production at the core of stars – to propel spacecraft.
