When I first began studying nuclear engineering nearly 40 years ago, I was fascinated by the fact that nuclear reactions can transmute one element to another. As years passed and the nuclear ...

The U.S. Department of Energy is betting $40 million that scientists can shrink the danger window of spent nuclear fuel from ...

It has long been theorized that hydrogen, helium, and lithium were the only chemical elements in existence during the Big Bang, and that supernova explosions are responsible for transmuting these ...

Once upon a time, transmutation of the elements was a really big deal. Alchemists drove their patrons near to bankruptcy chasing the philosopher’s stone to no avail, but at least we got chemistry out ...

IF detection of elements originating from artificial transmutation can be attained by chemical methods, not only will this mean a desirable checking of physical observations, but also new results may ...

In a paper published in Physical Review C, the ALICE collaboration reports measurements that quantify the transmutation of lead into gold in CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Transforming the base ...

We are at a critical time and supporting climate journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen environmental ...

IN NATURE of May 6, p. 652, a communication by Prof. F. A. Paneth and P. L. Günther was published on the application of chemical analysis to the study of processes of artificial transmutation of ...
