Transmutation means change. In science, it refers to changes from one state to another. In biology, chemistry, and especially physics, transmutation mostly refers to a change of one chemical element ...

Detections of gravitational waves from merging neutron stars tipped off researchers here on Earth that it should be possible to predict how neutrons interact with atomic nuclei. Nuclear power is ...

The study presents a novel technique to quantify nuclear transmutation accurately, aiming to enhance the stability of radioactive waste and improve nuclear waste treatment facilities. Inspired by ...

When in 1900 Ernest Rutherford and Frederick Soddy, working at McGill University in Montreal, figured that thorium was spontaneously turning into argon by radioactive decay, Soddy exclaimed ‘This is ...

Nuclear power is considered one of the ways to reduce dependence on fossil fuels, but how to deal with nuclear waste products is a concern. Radioactive waste products can be turned into more stable ...
