PPPL Researchers Challenge Understanding of Key Element in Fusion Plasmas

Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have challenged understanding of a key element in fusion plasmas. At issue has been an accurate prediction of the size of the “bootstrap current” — a self-generating electric current — and an understanding of what carries the current at the edge of plasmas in doughnut-shaped facilities called tokamaks.

Quantum Physical Effect of Entanglement Can be Detected with the Naked Eye

Predictions from quantum physics have been confirmed by countless experiments, but no one has yet detected the quantum physical effect of entanglement directly with the naked eye. This should now be possible thanks to an experiment proposed by a team around a theoretical physicist at the University of Basel. The experiment might pave the way for new applications in quantum physics.

Astronomers Detect Three Earth-Like Exoplanets Orbiting Ultracool Dwarf Star

A group of astronomers at MIT, the University of Liège in Belgium, and elsewhere have discovered three Earth-like exoplanets orbiting around an ultracool dwarf star for the first time. They are located just 40 light years from our planet. Their sizes and temperatures are similar to those of Earth and Venus, making them the best targets ever found in search of life beyond our solar system.
