The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES), at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science, announced the release of its vision, Building Bridges: A Vision for the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, during the Fusion Energy Sciences Advisory Committee hearing on December 13, 2023.
Brown dwarfs are sometimes called failed stars, since they form like stars through gravitational collapse, but never gain enough mass to ignite nuclear fusion.
Did you know that the oceans hold more uranium than can be found on land? Seawater could become another source of nuclear fuel, and researchers in ACS Central Science report a way to capture it effectively.
Nuclear science and technology (NST) impact our daily lives in a myriad of ways. From nuclear power to radiation cancer treatments and agriculture protection, NST is critical to improving the standard of living in countries with growing energy requirements.
As two neutron stars orbit one another, they release gravitational waves that sap energy from the orbit until the two stars eventually collide and merge.
The elements above iron on the periodic table are thought to be created in cataclysmic explosions like the merger of two neutron stars or in rare classes of supernovae. New research suggests fission may operate in the cosmos during the creation of the heavy elements. Combing through data on a variety of elements that reside in very old stars, researchers have found a potential signature of fission, indicating that nature is likely to produce superheavy nuclei beyond the heaviest elements on the periodic table.
Water is often the go-to resource for heat transfer, being used in large-scale cooling operations like data centers that power the internet and nuclear power plants that power cities. Discovering dynamic phenomena to make water-based heat transfer more energy and cost efficient is the ongoing work of Jonathan Boreyko, associate professor and John R.
Nuclear energy is a key player in the global high-grade energy landscape, offering reliable electricity with minimal environmental impact. However, managing and processing spent nuclear fuel (SNF) is crucial for sustainable and safe nuclear power deployment.
As the world clamors for carbon-free power, U.S. nuclear reactor developers have responded with a multitude of advanced reactor designs.
The National Academies of Sciences has awarded funding to Argonne National Laboratory and others to improve safety of offshore oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico.
Traditionally, K-eigenvalue problems have been tackled using a myriad of numerical methods, such as the finite difference method, nodal expansion method, and finite element method, among others.
Representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Science and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA) have signed a "Statement of Interest" to launch what both agencies hope will be a significant collaboration on the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC).
Argonne National Laboratory leads the Fast Reactor Program, which provides key support to industry in demonstrating clean, green advanced nuclear reactor technologies.
As the United States works to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, different energy sectors will require different solutions.
Scientists at Oak Ridge National Laboratory used their expertise in quantum biology, artificial intelligence and bioengineering to improve how CRISPR Cas9 genome editing tools work on organisms like microbes that can be modified to produce renewable fuels and chemicals.
Two teams that include scientists from U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have been named finalists for the Association for Computing Machinery 2023 Gordon Bell Prize. Both teams conducted groundbreaking research with the use of high performance exascale computing tools, such as Frontier, a supercomputer at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
The U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility is proud to announce nine new graduate fellowships for the 2023-2024 academic year, thanks to ongoing funding from Jefferson Science Associates. These fellowships offer students a unique opportunity to collaborate with leading nuclear physicists at Jefferson Lab and pursue advanced studies at their respective universities.
Argonne scientists recognized for use of exascale computing tools to achieve high-fidelity simulations of advanced nuclear reactor systems and high-resolution simulations that reduce uncertainty in climate model predictions.
Nonproliferation experts at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory are helping the financial sector in partner countries avoid inadvertent support of illegal weapons trades.
National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) is now designing and constructing two fields, in the form of nuclear testing facilities known as test beds at Idaho National Laboratory (INL).
