Aiden McMillan, a 12-year-old student in Dallas, Texas, has built a home nuclear fusion device and is seeking a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to do so.

Dallas boy achieves nuclear fusion at home using makeshift device, potentially breaking world record for youngest fusion ...

My first encounter with one of the devices was about six decades ago (and only three decades after its improvement as an invention). I had no need for one prior to then. Three men played roles in ...

A nuclear escalation in the Middle East would trigger a global catastrophe. Know the physics behind nuclear weapons, and the looming threat of a worldwide nuclear winter.

Researchers created scalable quantum circuits capable of simulating fundamental nuclear physics on more than 100 qubits. These circuits efficiently prepare complex initial states that classical ...

Seventh-grader Aiden McMillan is in the running for a Guinness World Record as the youngest person to achieve nuclear fusion.
