Machine Learning Method Could Help Physicists to Analyze Plasma Behavior within Tokamaks

Machine learning, which lets researchers determine if two processes are causally linked without revealing how, could help stabilize the plasma within doughnut-shaped fusion devices known as tokamaks.

New Research Sheds Light on Spiral Galaxies’ Angular Momentum

The dichotomy concerns the so-called angular momentum (per unit mass), that in physics is a measure of size and rotation velocity. Spiral galaxies are found to be strongly rotating, with an angular momentum higher by a factor of about 5 than ellipticals.

Harvard Researchers Develop New Method to Control and Measure Spin Chemical Potential

Information technologies of the future will likely use electron spin — rather than electron charge — to carry information. But first, scientists need to better understand how to control spin and learn to build the spin equivalent of electronic components, from spin transistors, to spin gates and circuits.
