The hydrogen bomb stands as the most fearsome weapon mankind has ever built. A standard atomic bomb—like the ones the United ...

Traditional hydrogen bombs work through nuclear fusion, a process where atomic nuclei combine under intense pressure to ...

A hydrogen bomb—thermonuclear by design—that doesn’t require uranium or plutonium; such a weapon of mass destruction could ...

Monticello residents, are you aware of the tritium leak affecting the local nuclear facility? Recent findings have sparked ...

Physicists at KATRIN in Germany have found an upper limit to the mass of the neutrino, a subatomic particle of the Standard ...

Betavoltaic Battery Market is Segmented by Type (Tritium Batteries), by Application (Military, Aerospace, Medical, Industrial ...

KATRIN utilizes the beta decay of tritium, an unstable hydrogen isotope, to assess the mass of neutrinos. The energy distribution of the electrons resulting from the decay enables a direct kinematic ...

New data establish an upper limit of 0.45 eV/c2 (equivalent to 8 x 10-37 kilograms) for the neutrino mass. KATRIN measures neutrino mass in the laboratory using a model-independent method.

Neutrinos are among the most enigmatic particles in the universe. They are omnipresent yet interact extremely rarely with matter.

The ALPS-treated water, which has undergone extensive purification to remove most radioactive elements, still contains tritium, a radioactive isotope of hydrogen. While tritium cannot be easily ...

To search for an answer, the physicists behind the new research turned to radioactive decays of the unstable hydrogen isotope tritium, which splits into an electron and an electron antineutrino — the ...
