In 2022, physicist Tammy Ma and the team at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory achieved a scientific breakthrough decades in the making: fusion ignition, or the combining of two atoms to generate more energy out of a reaction than...

Stars have cores hot and dense enough to force atomic nuclei together, forming larger, heavier nuclei in a process known as fusion. In this process, the mass of the end products is slightly less than the mass of the initial atoms. But...

Scientists working at a nuclear fusion facility in Oxford announced a record-breaking result. And while there's still a lot to figure out to make fusion viable, this brings us one step closer to realizing a technology with huge potential...

What is heavy water, and is it safe to drink? Heavy water, or deuterium oxide, has some pretty important scientific applications. But what would happen to your body if you actually drank it? Hosted by Hank Green.

Passionate scientists constantly have revolutionary ideas, but when they seem too good to be true, they usually are.

Fusion power is supposed to save us from fossil fuels, so when is nuclear fusion going to be a viable option and why has it been so elusive?

Physicist Steven Cowley is certain that nuclear fusion is the only truly sustainable solution to the fuel crisis. He explains why fusion will work -- and details the projects that he and many others have devoted their lives to, working...

Did you play with glow in the dark toys as a kid? They’re super cool, but kind of mysterious. How do they glow after all? Hank explains the phenomenon in this quick question.

The Cosmic Microwave Background shows us the oldest light in the universe, but to really understand the early universe we need something even older: The Cosmic Neutrino Background.

Countries like China, the US, and Russia are setting their sights on the Moon. But is it purely for the advancement of mankind, or is there profit to be found? Mining for Helium-3, metals and rare-earths on the Moon might be closer than...

China is creating an artificial star that burns at temperatures eight times hotter than our sun by replicating its energy-generating, hydrogen fusion process on Earth.

It's time to start our survey of the periodic table, and we are going to start with just one element, hydrogen. This is the most abundant element in the universe by a wide margin. What does it do? What are its properties? What are its...

Experts say cleaning up the leaking nuclear reactors will take another 30 years and billions of dollars more. <br/>

This nugget describes the nucleus of an atom. It talks about the various aspects of a nucleus like atomic number, atomic mass unit, isotopes and isobars, with examples.

At the start of the 20th century scientists had a good estimate of how old the Earth was. At least several billion years of age. This led to the tricky question as to how the Sun not only generated heat and light, but how it had done...

The video is a lecture on the topic of nuclear fusion, which involves the combination of two small nuclei to form one larger nucleus. The lecturer compares nuclear fusion with nuclear fission, which is the splitting of a nucleus into two...

Learn the basics about radioactive isotopes. The identity and chemical properties of any atom are determined by the number of protons in its nucleus. As atoms get bigger and heavier, the nuclei get bigger and heavier and the protons need...

President Biden's push for electric vehicles is doing more than trying to hold off climate change as it also hopes to revive American manufacturing jobs. The latest company to open an EV charging production plant in the U.S. is...

Footage of Chancellor Rachel Reeves visiting the Tokamak Energy plant in Milton Park, Abingdon. She spoke to the media about GDP figures before touring the facility to understand its functioning.

Japan is set to release treated wastewater from the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant as early as next month, after getting formal approval from government regulators. Honorary Associate Professor at ANU's Department of Nuclear Physics...

Tony Irwin, honorary associate professor at the Australian National University's Department of Nuclear Physics, discusses the plans for Japan to release more than a million cubic meters of treated water from the Fukushima nuclear...

Monash University Associate Professor of International Relations Maria Rublee says Putin putting Russian nuclear forces on high alert comes from deep insecurity and weakness - which is the most dangerous type of nuclear threat. She...
