Sandia's Z machine, by creating pressures more than 10 million times that of the atmosphere at sea level, has turned a diamond sheet into a pool of liquid, in an experiment to better understand the ...

(Nanowerk News) Advances in fuel-cell technology have been stymied by the inadequacy of metals studied as catalysts. The drawback to platinum, other than cost, is that it absorbs carbon monoxide in ...

The team in NIFS’ Large Helical Device (LHD) Control Room. Image source TAE Technologies. California-based developer TAE Technologies said it completed an experiment using hydrogen-boron fuel in ...

ITHACA, N.Y. - A nitrogen doped carbon-coated nickel anode can catalyze an essential reaction in hydrogen fuel cells at a fraction of the cost of the precious metals currently used, Cornell University ...

IDAHO, USA — Out in the East Idaho desert, inside the Transient Reactor Test (TREAT) Facility, the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) has developed a new device called THOR. It's being used to test ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Scientists this year took two big steps on what has been a decades-long, slow march to fusion power. Researchers in California used lasers to trigger a record-breaking fusion reaction, while a team in ...

Scientists replicated their breakthrough December 2022 nuclear fusion experiment. But this time, they produced even more energy from the experiment than the first time. These experiments are history ...

IN watching the advance of science, and particularly of the physical sciences to-day, one cannot fail to be struck by the very close connexion between theory and experiment—a relation which is ...
