Using Compact Tokamaks to Accelerate the Development of Fusion Power

Is it possible to rapidly develop tokamak fusion facilities—devices that are most extensively used for harvesting the fusion reactions powering the sun and stars on Earth—to generate clean, safe, and almost limitless energy for producing electricity?

Quantum Sensing Method Measures Minuscule Magnetic Fields

A new way of measuring atomic-scale magnetic fields with great precision, not only up and down but sideways as well, has been developed by researchers at MIT.

Researchers Use a Novel Approach to Create Stable “Supercrystals”

A research team, headed by The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) and Argonne National Laboratory, along with the University of California, Berkeley, and two other national labs, has developed a stable “supercrystal” using a combination of “frustration” technique and a pulse of laser light.

Researchers Successfully Probe Capture of Protons During the Formation of Heavy Elements

Heavy elements are created on the surfaces of neutron stars by the capture of hydrogen nuclei (protons) or during a stellar explosion. This takes place at very high temperatures, yet at comparatively lower energies.

ESO’s Very Large Telescope Captures an Image of Ethereal Nebula Hidden in the Constellation of Orion

The Very Large Telescope (VLT) of ESO has successfully captured a picture of a ghostly nebula hidden deep into the darkest places of the constellation of Orion, or The Hunter—NGC 1788, labeled as the Cosmic Bat.

Scientists Use Generative Adversarial Networks to Accelerate Simulation of Processes at LHC

Researchers at HSE University and Yandex have devised a technique that speeds up the simulation of processes at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). The outcomes of the study were reported in Nuclear Instruments and Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment.

Physicists Use Laser Light to Create Chiral Molecules

Chiral agents, which are contained in 7 out of 10 most common medications, are molecules occurring in right- or left-handed forms. At the time of chemical synthesis, both forms generally exist in equal parts and must be separated later, since the effect of the agent in the body is governed by its chirality.

Using Atomic Clocks to Prove Fundamental Hypothesis of the Theory of Relativity

The hypothesis formulated by Einstein in his Special Theory of Relativity proved that the speed of light is the same all the time despite the given conditions.

Quantum Simulation Offers Brief Peek into Time Reversal Possibilities

People mark days with calendars and clocks, but possibly no timepiece is more direct than a mirror. Over the years, changes are noticed which richly demonstrate science’s “arrow of time”—the probable evolution from order to disorder.

Subaru Telescope Helps Discover 13-Billion-Year-Old Quasars Powered by Black Holes

Astronomers from Princeton University, Japan, and Taiwan have discovered 83 quasars driven by supermassive black holes in the remote universe, from a period when the universe was less than 10% of its current age.
