In the last 20 years, there have been efforts to reduce fossil fuel use in plastics manufacturing, and, according to Penn State researchers, efficient, customizable catalytic reactions—where two metals are combined using ...
The first experimental evidence to validate a newly published universal law that provides insights into the complex energy states for liquids has been found using an advanced nuclear technique at ANSTO.
Scientists at a laboratory in England have shattered the record for the amount of energy produced during a controlled, sustained fusion reaction. The production of 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds at the Joint European ...
This crystal lattice consists of a large number of unit cells with an identical atomic arrangement. In the elementary adiabatic picture, the motions of electrons in the crystal follow the motion of the atomic nuclei instantly, ...
A cutting-edge nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) rocket engine using what's called centrifugal liquid fuel bubble-through could one day be a ticket for NASA to go directly into deep space.
The sprawling European science lab that houses the world's largest atom smasher is taking new steps that will further limit its cooperation with Russian research institutes in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Scientists have found a new way to "see" inside the simplest atomic nuclei to better understand the "glue" that holds the building blocks of matter together. The results, just published in Physical Review Letters, come from ...
A nuclear reactor at an Illinois energy plant is helping University of Chicago scientists learn how to catch and understand the tiny, elusive particles known as neutrinos.
Engineers at Caltech have developed an approach for quantum storage that could help pave the way for the development of large-scale optical quantum networks.
In less than 24 hours the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists will update the Doomsday Clock. It's currently at 100 seconds from midnight—the metaphorical time when the human race could destroy the world with technologies ...
