A biochemistry professor is researching the use of sulfate-reducing bacteria to convert toxic radioactive metal to inert substances, a much more economical solution.

True muonium,” a long-theorized but never-seen tiny atom, might be observed in current and future super collider experiments.

Mississippi State University research into sea-based missile defense interceptors is giving the Defense Department flexibility to deal with a variety of international threats

Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have designed a new system that, when fully developed, would use fusion to eliminate most of the transuranic waste produced by nuclear power plants.

It may be possible to dramatically reduce the radioactive waste isolation time -- from several million years to as little as 300 - 500 years.

How did the universe come to be? What is it made of? What is mass? Can science prove that there are other dimensions?

A limited nuclear weapons exchange between Pakistan and India using their current arsenals could create a near-global ozone hole, triggering human health problems and wreaking environmental havoc for at least a decade

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is leading a $3 million research project that will pair two of the world’s most powerful supercomputers to boost the safety and reliability of next-generation nuclear power reactors.
