The generation of fusion energy utilizes the fusion reaction that occurs inside a high-temperature plasma. In order to achieve the generation of fusion energy, we confine plasma in the magnetic field ...

Surprisingly, a quintessential equation of quantum mechanics emerges while studying astronomical disks of orbiting material. Quantum mechanics is the branch of physics governing the sometimes-strange ...

An ancient crocodile’s last meal might never have come to light were it not for researchers deciding to scan the rock-embedded fossil with a beam of neutrons. The scientists had set out to see if ...

As you’d imagine, subatomic particles tend to be smaller than atoms. But new research by astronomer George Fuller suggests that As you’d imagine, subatomic particles tend to be smaller than atoms. But ...

The first-known observations of matter–antimatter asymmetry in a decaying composite subatomic particle that belongs to the baryon class are reported from the LHCb experiment located at the Large ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA. -- In the dead of a Martian winter, clouds of snow blanket the Red Planet's poles — but unlike our water-based snow, the particles on Mars are frozen crystals of carbon dioxide. Most of ...

For the first time, scientists have discovered the source of cosmic neutrinos, ghostly subatomic particles that can travel in a straight line for billions of light-years, passing unhindered through ...
