A proposed merger between two utility giants could have big implications for the future of nuclear power in New England.

Scientists at the University of Maryland have successfully demonstrated the control of the nuclear spin of a hydrogen molecule (H2) using dry ice. This simple ability to control the quantum state of a ...

The artificial intelligence revolution isn’t limited by chips, algorithms, or talent. It’s constrained by electricity. Hyperscale data centers already draw more power than entire cities, and with tech ...

In the universe, thermonuclear fusion is a common reaction: it is the source of energy for stars. On Earth, producing energy using this process is difficult due to problems with controlling the plasma ...

If artificial intelligence is the zeitgeist of the 21st century, it’s powered by something more prosaic: electricity. The energy required to train a frontier model is equivalent to the annual power ...

The convergence of nuclear technology and artificial intelligence is no longer a far-off possibility. A recent announcement from Aalo Atomics and Microsoft—an unlikely pairing even a few years ago—has ...

Nuclear energy is regaining favor. In recent years, numerous countries have signed pledges to triple their nuclear energy capacity by 2050. Public support is near record highs, and nuclear power is ...

The U.K. once had more nuclear power stations than the U.S., USSR and France combined but hasn't completed a reactor since 1995. Nuclear energy accounted for 14% of the U.K.'s power supply in 2023 but ...
