An innovative algorithm for detecting collisions of high-speed particles within nuclear fusion reactors has been developed, inspired by technologies used to determine whether bullets hit targets in ...

Ankit Saxena wants to protect nuclear reactors and other infrastructure from future seismic activity. And he sees particle dampers, a vibration-damping technology, as the key to success. To further ...

Physicists have spent decades chasing two grand technological dreams: harnessing fusion power and uncovering the nature of dark matter. A new theoretical paper now suggests those quests might collide ...

Physicists have caught neutrinos from a nuclear reactor using a device weighing just a few kilograms, orders of magnitude less massive than standard neutrino detectors. The technique opens new ways to ...

Fusion power has long been promised as a clean, abundant energy source, but scientists have struggled to harness it effectively. A new approach, however, may finally bring fusion reactors closer to ...

Our best mathematical model of the universe doesn’t match our observational reality, especially the existence of dark matter. Dark matter seems invisible, but it makes up most matter, and we have ...

Studies suggest that nearly half a million people died in the U.S. alone from complications related to pollution from coal-fired electrical plants in the 21 years from 1999 to 2020, yet nobody seems ...

Positron emission particle tracking (PEPT) is a powerful, non‐invasive technique that utilises radioactively labelled tracer particles to visualise and quantify the complex internal dynamics of ...
