physics‚ energy is an indirectly observed quantity which comes in many forms‚ such as kinetic energy‚ potential energy‚ radiant energy‚ and many others; which are listed in this summary article. This is a major topic in science and technology and this article gives an overview of its major aspects‚ and provides links to the many specific articles about energy in its different forms and contexts. The question "what is energy?" is difficult to answer in a simple‚ intuitive way‚ although energy can be

Nuclear Power The Future OF Energy Nuclear power‚ a phrase that isn ’t too far from its controversial disputes. nuclear powers debate began around the 1970s to late 1980s when American nuclear power plant in Harrisburg‚ Pennsylvania had a cooling malfunction that caused a part of one of its reactors partially melt inside the reactor core. Media outlets jumped onto this incident‚ and dramatizing the events that transpired; not intending to downplay the significance

term Nuclear Power or Nuclear Energy gets used usually the first things that come to mind for most people are bombs‚ destruction‚ war‚ and deformed humans. Which in fact are four things that occur the least in the nuclear power field. Nuclear power is much more than just bombs and destruction‚ bombs barely even take up a percentage of the total amount of nuclear energy used in the world today. Most all of the nuclear energy used today comes in the form of production of electricity. Nuclear power

Nuclear power is “safe”. The UK now has enough radioactive waste to fill the Royal Albert Hall five times over. It is more reliable than other types of power and creates very little emissions. However the cons just outweigh the pros. Where is all this waste meant to go to? The waste will probably end up in the environment harming the earth. It is deemed safe but an accident occurred‚ the consequences would be catastrophic like the Chernobyl disaster. It has been twenty years since the worst nuclear

** Atom and Introduction to Nuclear physics ** Introduction Alpha-particle scattering 2.1 Experimental set-up ➢ Alpha particle o is a high-energy helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons. o has 2 positive charges. ➢ Gold foil was chosen since it has a high atomic mass. Thin gold foil‚ ~10-6m was bombarded by high-energy alpha particles. ➢ Angular deflections/ scattering of alpha particles were measured by observing

Nuclear Reactors An Overview Nuclear reactor is any class of devices that can initiate and control a self-sustaining series of nuclear fissions. Nuclear reactors are used as research tools‚ as systems for producing radioactive isotopes‚ and most prominently as energy sources for nuclear power plants.Djeresssi (1991) Principles of operation Nuclear reactors operate on the principle of nuclear fission‚ the process in which a heavy atomic nucleus splits into two smaller fragments. The nuclear fragments

We all know that energy on earth is running out‚ but what if we could use stars? Stars contain so much energy‚ if we could harvest it‚ we would never run out of energy. Energy from stars could be the energy source we are looking for. Energy is something we probably take for granted‚ we use so much of it everyday‚ and our current energy source‚ fossil fuels‚ releases gases into the environment‚ but with energy from stars‚ it could be a fresh start for our energy sources and our environment.
