Casein proteins in milk self-associate to form large aggregates called casein micelles. This self-association occurs because ...

China’s latest advance in magnetic confinement fusion has pushed a key performance limit past what theory once allowed, ...

Nuclear fusion promises a green and infinitely renewable supply of energy—if we can harness it. Fusion happens all the time inside the sun. But to recreate the process on Earth, we must control ...

In August last year the control room at General Atomics had something to celebrate. A room full of scientists stood by their computers, took cell phone photos and cheered as their nuclear reactor ...

At 4 a.m., while most of New Jersey slept, a Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) physicist sat at his computer ...

For seventy years, one stubborn physics problem has stood between fusion’s promise and practical reactors. That puzzle, how to keep violent runaway electrons from shredding the inside of a tokamak, ...

Researchers have found a faster, more accurate way to design magnetic “bottles” that hold plasma for fusion power. Using symmetry theory instead of traditional, slow Newton-based calculations, they ...

Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS), a spinout from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, announced plans on Tuesday to build the world's first grid-scale commercial nuclear fusion power plant in ...
