Chemists report that radiation-induced chemical reactions may help mitigate the corrosion of metals in a new type of nuclear reactor cooled by molten salts. High temperatures and ionizing radiation ...

Over the past decade, nuclear power has been making a comeback as an important source of low-cost, carbon-free energy. This renaissance is fueled by the world’s ever-growing energy needs and by ...

Naarea, the developer of a molten salt fast neutron microreactor, is partnering with the French National Centre for Scientific Research and Université Paris-Saclay to create a laboratory dedicated to ...

Highly dilute metal ions can aggregate in a high-temperature ionic-liquid medium and form long-lived clusters. The unexpected finding, which is the result of a study that combines experiment and ...

Chemistry moves from in-person lab and the classroom to the computer, as working in a virtual chemistry laboratory and viewing simulations provide additional ways of learning chemistry. Each ...

Science classrooms with scientific equipment and supplies should not be used for non-science courses or activities unless the science materials can be stored in a secured area. Laboratory activities ...
