The article Nuclear Fusion \textbf{66}, 016012 (2026) by Richard Fitzpatrick is based on fundamental errors in the physics of the poloidal magnetic flux in tokamaks. His paper was inspired by an article that I posted on arXiv in various versions, $\b...
Syria's government corroborated the initial Axios report on Tuesday morning, confirming that it had cooperated with the IAEA, the US, and "friendly countries" on this matter.
Curtis reveals how her friendship with author Patricia Cornwell led to the new series, and a documentary looks at the Fukushima nuclear accident 15 years ago. David Daniel reports.
This report is based on a series of papers written between 1980 and 2005 on the origin of Iraq's nuclear weapons program, which was known to one of the authors in the late 1970s already, as well as to a number of other physicists, who independently...
It was recently argued by Kemp et al. that HALEU (high-assay low-enriched uranium, or uranium enriched up to 19.75\%) can conceivably be used to produce a nuclear weapon and on this basis civilian enrichment limits should be lowered to 10% or 12%. We...
We are looking for a holographic explanation of nuclear forces, especially the attractive forces. Recently, the repulsive hard core of a nucleon-nucleon potential was obtained in the Sakai-Sugimoto model, and we show that a generalized version of tha...
Nuclear resonances provide a rich and versatile testbed for exploring fundamental aspects of physics, particularly within the domain of strongly correlated many-body systems. The overarching goal of the theory is to develop a consistent and predictiv...
1 day ago · Scientists warn a nuclear bomb in a US-Israel-Iran war could trigger global famine. Soot from firestorms would block sunlight, causing agricultural collapse, mass starvation, and radiation lasting …
We give a partial answer to the question for the precise value of the nuclear dimension of UCT-Kirchberg algebras raised by W. Winter and J. Zacharias. It is shown that every Kirchberg algebra in the UCT-class with torsion free $K_1$-group has nuclea...
The growth rate of structural defects in nuclear fuels under irradiation is intrinsically related to the diffusion rates of the defects in the fuel lattice. The generation and growth of atomistic structural defects can significantly alter the perform...
We present multi-wavelength high-spatial resolution (~0.1'', 70 pc) observations of UGC 4211 at z=0.03474, a late-stage major galaxy merger at the closest nuclear separation yet found in near-IR imaging (0.32'', ~230 pc projected separation). Using H...
2 days ago · French President Emmanuel Macron spelled out a new doctrine of "forward deterrence" for the country. It will see more nuclear warheads and more cooperation with European allies, including …
4 days ago · President Macron’s updated doctrine marks a watershed for European defense, with an increased French nuclear arsenal and a “forward deterrence” strategy that integrates regional …
French President Emmanuel Macron has ordered France’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier to move from the Baltic Sea to the Mediterranean to protect allied assets during the ongoing war in the Middle East.
Experimental cross-sections are presented for the first time for the 159Tb(d,xn)155,157,159Dy, 155,156,160Tb and 153Gd nuclear reactions up to 50 MeV. The experimental data are compared with theoretical predictions of the ALICE, EMPIRE and TALYS nucl...
supreme leader of Iran, against the acquisition, development and use of nuclear weapons dates back to the mid-1990s. The first public announcement is reported
Activation cross-sections of longer-lived products of proton induced nuclear reactions on dysprosium were measured up to 36 MeV by using stacked foil irradiation technique and gamma-spectrometry. We report for the first time experimental cross-sectio...
Oct 17, 2025 · The IAEA assists its Member States in using nuclear science and technology for peaceful purposes and facilitates the transfer of such technology and knowledge in a sustainable manner to …
Sep 13, 2023 · Nuclear fusion is the process by which two light atomic nuclei combine to form a single heavier one while releasing massive amounts of energy. Fusion reactions take place in a state of …
