The algorithm is grounded in math and physics and allows a nuclear microreactor to automatically control its thermal power.

The weak nuclear force doesn't play by the normal rules — and, in fact, it breaks one of the biggest rules of all.

The difference lies in the structure of the atom's nucleus, with certain "magic numbers" of nuclear particles making some isotopes especially resistant to radioactive decay. So what are these magic ...
