In 1989, a writer turned public outrage into action and helped shut down a Soviet testing ground where 450 nuclear bombs had exploded over 40 years. His movement inspired a UN international day against nuclear testing.
NASA just completed groundbreaking tests on a nuclear rocket engine that could cut travel time to Mars in half. It's the first flight-ready reactor tested in over 60 years, bringing us closer to exploring the far reaches of our solar system.
Robots are now doing the dangerous work of sorting nuclear waste in South Gloucestershire, keeping human workers safer while saving potentially hundreds of millions of pounds. Two groundbreaking trials are showing how technology can tackle one of Britain's toughest cleanup challenges.
For the first time since the atomic age began, humanity has gone more than eight years without a single nuclear explosion. The milestone marks a quiet but remarkable shift toward global restraint.
A Florida company just launched the first commercial satellite powered by nuclear battery technology that could keep future spacecraft running for years without sunlight. The breakthrough opens new possibilities for deep space missions and lunar exploration.
A nonprofit is launching an independent testing lab to rate AI tools for child safety, similar to how crash tests revolutionized car safety. Major AI companies are backing the effort to create safety benchmarks and protect young users.
Singapore just signed a six-year partnership with the UN's atomic watchdog to build nuclear safety skills as the region explores cleaner energy options. The deal covers everything from cancer therapy to food safety testing.
A Bill Gates-backed nuclear company just acquired breakthrough safety technology from South Korea to help build America's first next-generation reactor in Wyoming. The $4.67 million deal brings cutting-edge sodium reactor testing know-how to the U.S. as construction moves forward on a plant that could change how we power the grid.
A groundbreaking agreement between nuclear startup Oklo and industrial giant Siemens Energy is turning advanced nuclear power from concept into reality. The partnership secures critical equipment for America's first next-generation reactor, proving clean nuclear energy can move from drawing board to deployment.
Researchers just solved a puzzle that's stumped nuclear physicists for years, creating a tool that finally matches what happens in labs. The breakthrough helps us understand how atoms swap parts during collisions.
Forget waiting months for a specialist appointment. New blood tests are making Alzheimer's diagnosis as simple as a routine checkup at your family doctor.
Scientists recreated the extreme conditions inside a nuclear fireball and discovered that our safety models have been missing key chemical reactions. Their findings could make nuclear event predictions far more accurate.
A seventh grader spent four years teaching himself nuclear physics and building a working fusion reactor at home. Aiden McMillan could become the youngest person ever to achieve nuclear fusion.
Singapore is training local experts and studying advanced nuclear technology as it prepares for a potential clean energy future. The new Nuclear Energy Office is building homegrown talent to safely assess whether nuclear power could work in the dense city-state.
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are celebrating two decades since they voluntarily gave up nuclear weapons through the Semipalatinsk Treaty. In a world facing rising nuclear threats, their commitment proves regional cooperation can create lasting peace.
A simple fingerstick test for hepatitis B is just as accurate as traditional lab testing, and delivers results in 60 minutes instead of days. This breakthrough could save lives by bringing testing to remote communities where 254 million people worldwide need better access to care.
After decades of tension, Iran has agreed never to stockpile enriched uranium, marking what diplomats call the most significant breakthrough in nuclear negotiations. Peace between Iran and the United States could be just months away.
Malaysia's only nuclear research reactor has powered peaceful innovation for 44 years without a single safety incident. The facility is training scientists, producing medical treatments, and preparing the nation for next-generation nuclear technology.
Scientists just solved one of nuclear power's biggest problems: what to do with radioactive waste. A new reactor design can turn dangerous nuclear waste into electricity while making it safe in just 300 years instead of 100,000.
Australian researchers proved a simple fingerstick test detects hepatitis B as accurately as lab tests, delivering results in just one hour instead of weeks. The breakthrough could bring lifesaving treatment to 254 million people worldwide who lack access to testing.
