Fusion Reaction Efficiency could be Increased by New Feedback System
Scientists at the United States Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have refined the use of magnetic fields to improve the performance…
The Quantum Simulator provides New Information
A quantum simulator is providing physicists with a clear picture of spin-charge separation, a strange phenomenon in which two parts of indivisible particles known as…
Experiment findings Support an Anomaly that Raises the Possibility of New Physics
New scientific findings confirm an anomaly observed in previous experiments, which may point to an as-yet unconfirmed new elementary particle, the sterile neutrino, or indicate…
High-powered Lasers require Diamond Mirrors
Researchers have created a mirror out of diamond, one of the strongest materials on the planet. The researchers created a highly reflective mirror by etching…
Scientists Use Atomic Resolution to Study Heat Effects in Materials
A team of researchers has discovered a way to map phonons – vibrations in crystal lattices – in atomic resolution using cutting-edge electron microscopes and…
World’s Most Powerful X-Ray Laser Is Now Colder than Outer Space
The temperature of a superconducting particle accelerator was lowered to barely two degrees above absolute zero (-456 degrees Fahrenheit). Its superconductivity comes in at this…
We May Have a New Definition of the Second By 2030
It’s past time for us to alter our timekeeping methods. Or so scientists argue in a draft resolution for the forthcoming 27th General Conference on…
Scientists use UV Light to make Plastic more Biodegradable
Plastics are among the most versatile and malleable materials ever devised by humanity. However, one of their distinguishing features, longevity, makes them a potential long-term…
There May Be a Fast Way to Observe This Never-Before-Seen Quantum Effect
Many occurrences that are difficult, if not impossible, to detect in practice have been predicted by quantum theory. The Unruh effect is a particularly difficult…
