Nuclear waste could supply rare hydrogen fuel for US fusion reactors

Nuclear waste could supply rare hydrogen fuel for US fusion reactors

Scientists in the United States are developing a method to recycle nuclear waste to make tritium – a rare version of hydrogen which serves as one of the main fuels in nuclear fusion. Nuclear fusion is a process that fuses two atoms together to release heat which can turn generators. The generators will ensure a supply of large amounts of …

Ex-Google exec says degrees in law and medicine are a waste of time because they take so long to complete that AI will catch up by graduation

Ex-Google exec says degrees in law and medicine are a waste of time because they take so long to complete that AI will catch up by graduation

As undergraduate degrees have lost their payoffs thanks to AI, young people have turned to advanced schooling to unlock jobs with salaries exceeding $200,000 (or in some cases, a $100 million signing bonus). However, one former Google leader says Gen Z should not be so fast to jump on the PhD train, as even doctoral degrees may have lost their …

Scientists Pitch Bold Plan to Turn Nuclear Waste Into Nuclear Fuel

Scientists Pitch Bold Plan to Turn Nuclear Waste Into Nuclear Fuel

Nuclear fusion has seen some exciting advances, and the promise of clean, efficient energy does seem to be creeping closer to reality. But skeptics point to practical issues we may not be trying hard enough to solve—issues that will inevitably weigh down our reactors when they finally arrive. A new study led by Terence Tarnowsky, a nuclear physicist at Los …

‘Not a single atom goes to waste’

‘Not a single atom goes to waste’

Researchers have found an innovative technique to maximize the use of precious metals that are vital to the green energy transition. Scientists from the University of Nottingham explained that they used argon plasma — a type of ionized gas that is created when argon gas is exposed to high temperatures or electrical energy — to disperse the atoms in various …

Higher cancer rates linked to WWII radioactive waste in Midwestern creek

Higher cancer rates linked to WWII radioactive waste in Midwestern creek

A Missouri creek has allegedly led to a higher risk of cancer in neighboring residents. Coldwater Creek, a Missouri River tributary north of St. Louis, has been a known radioactive waste site since the 1980s. Researchers have now confirmed that exposure to the creek, which is said to be polluted with nuclear waste from the development of the first atomic …
