Supercomputer Simulation Offers New Understanding of Fission Dynamics

Nuclear fission -; when the nucleus of an atom splits in two, releasing energy -; may seem like a process that is fully understood. First discovered in 1939 and thoroughly studied ever since, fission is a constant factor in modern life, used in everything from nuclear medicine to power-generating nuclear reactors.
