Given the considerable scientific, engineering, and commercial hurdles facing nuclear fusion, fission seems to offer a more promising nuclear solution to the world’s burgeoning power needs.

Fermi, among others, realized that nuclear fission was accompanied by the release of colossal amounts of energy from the conversion of mass into energy (according to Einstein's mass-energy ...

Fission yeast and budding yeast are free-living haploid cells that are easily grown in the laboratory. They have different cell shapes and patterns of division. Left, fission yeast; right, budding ...
