A simulation of a rapidly accreting white dwarf showing a proposed site for the intermediate (i) process and the Summing NaI (SuN) detector. The research studied the 139Ba+n reaction, constrained by ...
On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with ...
A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...
The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...
A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 experiment that may have quietly sparked the age of fusion energy. Arthur ...
An accidental discovery in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, involving fogged photographic plates exposed to uranium salts, unveiled ...
To be useful, clocks need to be consistent. Imagine two spies who synchronize their watches; they rely on them agreeing days or months later, even if one of them must take a frigid hike through arctic ...
A young American teenager, Taylor Wilson, achieved a remarkable feat by constructing a nuclear fusion reactor. He began this ...
