Scientists discover rare phenomenon that could unlock next-gen energy source: 'We have not previously seen'

In a breakthrough that could pave the way for more efficient and cleaner energy, researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have discovered a rare phenomenon that changes what we know about nuclear fission — the reaction that powers nuclear energy. Their findings, published in Nature, reveal a new layer of complexity in how atoms split, potentially improving how we harness this powerful carbon-free energy source. Nuclear fission …
