Union minister Piyush Goyal said nuclear power will complement solar and wind in meeting round-the-clock electricity demand ...

If a major disaster like Fukushima or Chornobyl ever happens again, the world would know almost straight away, thanks to an array of government and DIY radiation-monitoring programs running globally.

A revolutionary achievement could pave the way for smaller, more efficient nuclear clocks. Last year, a research team led by UCLA achieved a milestone scientists had pursued for half a century. They s ...

Time isn't just weird on Mars—it's literally quicker. As Vice reports, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and ...

Scientists in Missouri are actively pursuing dozens of minerals, including rare ones, that have been found across the state.

In the 80th year of the nuclear age, with just 89 seconds left on the Doomsday Clock, every nuclear challenge is trending in ...

Summary: Time doesn’t flow uniformly across the solar system, and new research reveals just how differently it unfolds on Mars compared with Earth. By tracing subtle gravitational and orbital ...

On Earth, knowing the time feels simple. Your phone pings the same second as a GPS satellite and an atomic clock in a lab.

This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...
