A Canadian lab has run a chemical process on real spent nuclear fuel "and pulled out 90% of the long-lived danger in 24 hours, the part that forces a burial site to last 100,000 years," notes the blog Autonocio, "with the leftovers meant to fuel a reactor."

Сверхмассивные чёрные дыры (СМЧД) могут быть чрезвычайно неряшливыми «пожирателями». Когда звезда подходит слишком близко, огромная приливная сила СМЧД может не только втянуть звезду внутрь, но и растянуть её, разорвав на части, прежде чем поглотить. И это полезно для астрофизиков, поскольку так СМЧД легче обнаружить. Когда СМЧД разрывает звезду на части, это называется событием приливного разрушения (СПР). Оторванный от звезды звёздный материал собирается в аккреционное кольцо вокруг чёрной дыры, нагревает Read more ›

The decline continued after that, reaching 18.6% in June, but Lansweeper says migration has now slowed... Read more ›
