Alien intelligence and nuclear connection

There is an apparent intelligence-gathering capability of UAPs, as they appear to monitor the proliferation, movement, and storage of nuclear materials and ICBM sites. Testimonials from at least 150 US servicemen have established that ICBMs have been deactivated at nuclear weapon...

Nuclear Propulsion Systems: The Future of Interplanetary Spaceflight

In July 2020, the Perseverance rover launched on an Atlas V rocket and started its journey to Mars. In February 2021 it arrived and landed on the surface. Imagine a manned mission to Mars, where a group of people would have to spend 7 months in interplanetary space. They would need food, water, a...

Hold Tight, Nuclear Fusion Is Coming Sooner Than You Think (Thanks To Artificial Intelligence!)

The event — Princeton Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility in San Diego took a giant leap towards the creation of clean energy using nuclear fusion. They trained an AI algorithm to stabilise the previously unstable plasma generated within a nuclear fusion reactor. ...

How a Japanese Fisherman Survived Nuclear Fallout

Koji hunkered low in the cramped hold of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru, the drone of the engine a steady beat against the howling wind. His hands ached, the nets rough against his calloused skin, but it was the relentless rocking that made his stomach churn. He’d been a fisherman since boyhood, but t...

Why don???t we bury nuclear waste in space?

In today’s world, where a large percentage of electricity is generated by nuclear power plants and leading world powers possess huge nuclear arsenals, the problem of nuclear waste disposal is particularly acute. The main issue is that nuclear waste cannot be simply reprocessed, as it requires ...

Common Types of Nuclear Reactions

In this type of reaction, two or more small nuclei collide with one another and convert into a single heavier nucleus. Nuclear fusion occurs in elements with a low atomic number, such as hydrogen and helium. It is the exact counter-reaction of nuclear fission in which a heavier nucleus breaks down i...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, the overlooked powerhouse of biology -Chapter 2

The 3 main features of NMR resonances and how they relate to molecular structure and dynamics NMR resonances can be ascribed three main global features, from which we can extract information about each specific atom or small sets of atoms in the molecule: Chemical shift, or position in the spe...

Exploiting Nuclear Energy for Space Travel using RTGs

Humanity’s pursuit of space exploration demands powerful and reliable energy sources capable of operating in the extreme conditions outside of our planet. This article examines the application of nuclear energy in the form of Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) for space missions. ...

Shooting Nuclear Waste to Space? Bad Idea!

Hey there! I love diving into big brain stuff, like whether we can just yeet nuclear waste into space to solve our nuclear trash problems. Sounds like a neat trick, right?but, not so fast. It’s actually loaded with more issues than you’d think. Alright, so nuclear waste isn’t al...
