Hydrogen Ice Pellets Improve Temperature of Fusion Plasma than Hydrogen Gas

At the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, which is operated by General Atomics for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), scientists have discovered that fusion performance improves when pellets of hydrogen ice are injected instead of puffing hydrogen gas.

Combination of Radar and Ice can Help Detect Mysterious Neutrinos

These days, one of the greatest enigmas in astrophysics is a minute subatomic particle known as a neutrino. This particle is so tiny that it travels through matter—that is, human bodies, the atmosphere, and the very Earth—without getting detected.

New Radiation Method Helps Record Ultrafast Motions of Electrons in Chemical Reactions

At the Department of Energy’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, scientists have made a new, potential breakthrough for the laboratory’s high-speed “electron camera” that could enable them to “film” minuscule, ultrafast movements of electrons and protons in chemical reactions—reactions that have never been visualized to date.

Macrocycles Help Draw Molecular Patterns on Quantum Materials

Civilizations have advanced through the Stone, Bronze, and Iron Ages over several millennia. Now, it’s the turn of quantum materials to redefine the way humans live, thanks partly to studies performed at McGill University and the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique.
