Bright covers and a spark of science - retro books about the peaceful atom were more than just technical manuals. Some explained how nuclear energy could power homes. Others took a different route - turning atomic science into bold graphic stories with superheroes.

Breathe deep - you’re sharing air with a T. rex! According to the law of conservation of mass, atoms can’t be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions - they only rearrange. This means that every breath you take may contain atoms once exhaled by a T. rex.

Happy International Youth Day! To all the young innovators out there: let’s harness the power of the atom and light up the world with fresh ideas for a sustainable future. The future’s nuclear, and it’s looking bright! ✨ #InternationalYouthDay

Long before digital displays, control rooms hummed with analog life. In the 1960s and 70s, these control rooms were the nerve centers of nuclear power - walls of dials, switches, blinking lights, and constant human oversight. No touchscreens. No AI. Just precision and discipline

In this special episode of Going Nuclear, recorded during IYNC2024, Osama Baig talks to our Executive Secretary Thomas Romming about Germany’s nuclear phase-out — and what it means for the future of the industry. 🔗 Watch the episode: youtube.com/watch?v=iE54ZC…

Formed billions of years ago under extreme heat and pressure, diamonds hold messages from Earth’s deep past. Too old for carbon-14 dating, they’re studied through slow-decaying isotopes in tiny inclusions - time capsules from the ancient mantle. 💎

Tell me about mood swings… One photon - and boom, got too excited. #nuclearmeme

Rad Future by isabelle 🪐 flips everything you’ve heard about nuclear power on its head. With humor, sass, and deep research, Isabelle makes nuclear science exciting, understandable, and totally inspiring. Are you ready to rethink the future of energy? #RadFuture

In the Atomic Age, even cars were imagined to run on nuclear power. From Ford’s futuristic Nucleon concept in the 1950s and the Soviet “Atomic Volga”, these nuclear cars remain some of the most striking symbols of the era’s optimism about atomic energy.

In South Africa, the Rhisotope Project, supported by the IAEA - International Atomic Energy Agency ⚛️, is using nuclear technology to combat poaching. Scientists have safely introduced trace amounts of isotopes into rhino horns, making them detectable by radiation scanners at airports and border crossings.

Heavier elements than hydrogen and helium formed in stars through fusion. Supernovae spread them across space, and over billions of years, they became part of planets, oceans, and life. Every atom in your body once came from a star - we are stardust.

The Atomic Age wasn’t just about nuclear energy-it shaped how people imagined the future. Fueled by sci-fi, space exploration, and modern art, it gave birth to Atomic Age design: bold, colorful, and futuristic. It was a visual celebration of science, progress, and imagination.

When you realize your crush is in group 18… and so inert. Chemistry problems, am I right? #nuclearmeme

Imagine storing entire libraries in just a few atoms. Atomic memory encodes data at the smallest scale, promising huge storage density, ultra-low energy use & century-long stability. The future of computing could rest on individual atoms.
