Producing clean hydrogen energy usually involves the oxygen evolution reaction (OER), which has the unfortunate drawback of ...

Modern communication networks rely on optical signals to transfer vast amounts of data. But just like a weak radio signal, ...

In this work, we investigate the effects on microstructure, grain size, crystal structure, and stoichiometry when trace amounts of Fe in the form of Fe2O3 are added to UO2. Sintering of compacts with ...

UCLA physicists have developed a new thin film that uses far less of the rare thorium-229 while also being significantly less ...

For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a ...

Metal oxide dopants, such as titanium and chromium oxides, have garnered considerable attention for their potential to increase grain size (≥ 30 µm) in UO2 fuel, purportedly enhancing fission gas ...

Fu Yuxi from Xi'an Institute of Optics and Precision Mechanics (XIOPM) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed the first room temperature holmium-doped yttrium lithium fluoride (Ho ...

For decades researchers have been exploring how to store data in glass because of its potential to hold information for a long time -- eons -- without applying power. A special type of glass that ...
