Nuclear Energy News Stories
Current Nuclear Energy News Events, Discoveries and Articles
Designer Isotopes Push the Frontier of Science
Designer labels have a lot of cachet, a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. (2008-05-12)
Made-to-order isotopes hold promise on science's frontier
Designer labels have a lot of cachet - a principle that's equally true in fashion and physics. (2008-05-09)
Nuclear cannibals
Nuclear energy production must increase by more than 10 percent each year from 2010 to 2050 to meet all future energy demands and replace fossil fuels, but this is an unsustainable prospect. (2008-03-05)
Argonne's nuclear energy research moves toward greater reliance on computer simulation
The U.S. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory is taking its nuclear energy research into new territory - virtual territory that is. (2007-11-27)
Electricity grid could become a type of Internet
In the future everyone who is connected to the electricity grid will be able to upload and download packages of electricity to and from this network. At least, that is one of the transformations the electricity grid could undergo. (2007-10-25)
Nuclear Power Worldwide: Status and Outlook
Nuclear power's prominence as a major energy source will continue over the next several decades, according to new projections made by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), which has just published a new report, Energy, Electricity and Nuclear Power for the period up to 2030. (2007-10-24)
Research overturns accepted notion of neutron's electrical properties
For two generations of physicists, it has been a standard belief that the neutron, an electrically neutral elementary particle and a primary component of an atom, actually carries a positive charge at its center and an offsetting negative charge at its outer edge. (2007-09-18)
Trade-offs reveal no clear favorites in alternative energy market
The nuclear power industry is riding the green wave back into public favor with its promise of a low-carbon solution to our growing energy needs. But even as the industry struggles to dictate what role nuclear can realistically play, it is bound by a global energy landscape-from solar to carbon sequestration-that is still predominantly shaped by the marketplace. (2007-09-12)
Computational actinide chemistry: Are we there yet?
Ever since the Manhattan project in World War II, actinide chemistry has been essential for nuclear science and technology. (2007-08-22)
Renewable energy wrecks environment
Renewable does not mean green. That is the claim of Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University in New York. Writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, Ausubel explains that building enough wind farms, damming enough rivers, and growing enough biomass to meet global energy demands will wreck the environment.
