The problem of nuclear waste management has seen an effective solution with a new technology that generates electricity from nuclear waste.
This feat was achieved by a team of physicists and chemists from the University of Bristol, who utilized nuclear waste and converted it into man-made diamond batteries that can generate a small electric current for the longest duration.
This much-needed innovation...
CERN’s NA64 experiment is looking for the mysterious dark photon.
The concept of dark photons was first proposed in 2008 as a possible explanation for the movement of hydrogen in the Milky Way, which defies the rules of gravity. It is purported to be the fifth force, besides electromagnetism, gravity, and strong and weak nuclear forces. Since then, dark matter...
