Have you ever held a heavy piece of iron or lead in your hand? How much could you hold - 10 or 20 kg, maybe? Iron is dense enough to be considered “heavy”. But what if I told you scientists are about to create a material denser than the Sun’s core? The material is called [...]

The world’s most expensive and exotic experiment was thought to be CERN. Few people know that the EU, US, China, and Japan have invested billions of dollars to construct the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) that would use nuclear fusion instead of fission, like all nuclear power plants do today.

Who said that the nuclear age is over is not quite right. Nuclear weapons exist all over the world since WW2, and they are being stored in all kinds of places, including submarines. These nuclear supplies could give us extra energy at a price similar to oil, if not better.

Although they provide us with clean electricity, nuclear power plants are often criticized, among others, for their residues after the primary radioactive material is spent. Normally, they are buried in depleted uranium mines, and thus their impact is minimized, but there are lots of situations when things could get dangerous as the radioactive material could [...]

Reproducing the power of the sun on Earth is no easy task, but an international team of physicists based in Europe is now preparing to give it a go.
If their attempt to develop nuclear fusion works, it could provide a limitless and clean source of energy that promises to end reliance on the fossil fuels [...]

The US Airforce is said to have invented a battery lasting 30 years(!). It is made from some very weak radioactive material (it’s still enough to power a laptop) for that time. The news has been spread by www.nextenergynews.com and I don’t know if to believe it or not. It has not yet been published [...]

NOT many people want a nuclear power station in their backyard, but that’s the prospect facing communities on both sides of the Atlantic as governments weigh up where to build a new wave of reactors.

For decades, the world has generally accepted nuclear fission as the only all-powerful and clean source of energy. Nuclear is, after all, debated for the future of humanity’s clean energy.
All of this nuclear age is about to end and give the token to another clean way of producing energy - the nuclear fusion power.
Nuclear fusion [...]

The main problem with nuclear power is that it leaves radioactive residues behind; otherwise, it would be the almost perfect solution for our energetic and climate crises. The US government wants to build extra storage sites for collecting and burying what’s left behind the nuclear power plants. They plan to dig a huge cave in [...]

The president of the Unite States of America Barack Obama could be the person to influence the usage of the ultimate alternative energy source ever discovered: THORIUM.
Contrary to misconception that we have an energy shortage, we have more energy available than we could ever consume. Today we can generate nuclear energy with an element called [...]

A parliamentary group, called “The Greens” has released a report on Wednesday in which they underline the lack of nuclear development during the latest years, although some over-exaggerate its growing line.

Let’s start with the term “green”; what does it mean? I don’t know exactly. When I searched for a definition on Yahoo they returned 2,290,000 results and Google returned more than eight million.

Many people say that nuclear energy can help to fight greenhouse gases, other than the costs and size of nuclear plants are a risk not worth it. But what if there was a nuclear reactor small and easy to control, that could be buried in a garden and providing electricity to more than 25,000 homes [...]

Toshiba has announced for a while that they will introduce on the market a direct methanol fuel cell-based battery charger(DMFC) at the end of march 2009. The company also announced it will releases for market DMFC packs for cellphones and laptops starting with April.
Details for the launching are not as we would expect, maybe to [...]
