Roughly 9,500 nuclear weapons are hidden away in bunkers and missile siloes, stored in warehouses, at airfields and naval bases, and carried by dozens of submarines across the world. A single warhead ...

It did eventually lose the fly-off competition in August 1950 to the McDonnell Douglas XF-88 Voodoo, which was fitted with ...

European scientists say they have made a major breakthrough in their quest to develop practical nuclear fusion - the energy process that powers the stars. The UK-based JET laboratory has smashed ...

Jet engines are complex and costly due to their sophisticated designs, use of expensive materials like superalloys, and the ...

Nuclear weapons are still here—and they’re still an existential risk. Nine countries possess nuclear weapons: the United States, Russia, France, China, the United Kingdom, Pakistan, India, Israel, and ...

Last week, the US Patent and Trademark Office approved an application from Boeing's Robert Budica, James Herzberg, and Frank Chandler for a laser-and-nuclear driven airplane engine. With ...
