The time is nigh for nuclear clocks. In a first, scientists have used a tabletop laser to bump an atomic nucleus into a higher energy state. It’s a feat that sets scientists on a path toward creating ...

Scientists have taken a major step toward futuristic energy tech by building a working prototype of a quantum battery—one ...

Scientific discovery rarely arrives in a single, dramatic moment. It usually emerges through careful experiments, revised equations, unexpected field observations, and years of incremental progress.

Scientists just brought us one step closer to the dream of unlimited power. On November 17 at the Nevada National Security Site, a nuclear energy startup called Valar Atomics achieved zero-power ...
