Laser Fusion Experiment Unleashes an Energetic Burst of Optimism
An anonymous reader quotes a report from The New York Times: Scientists have come tantalizingly close to reproducing the power of the sun -- albeit only in a speck of hydrogen for a fraction of a second. Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Lab.....»»
Physicists uncover key to resolving long-standing inertial confinement fusion hohlraum drive deficit
A team of researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) has made advancements in understanding and resolving the long-standing "drive-deficit" problem in indirect-drive inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. This discovery coul.....»»
Low-intensity grassland is better able to withstand the consequences of climate change
Climate change will have a considerable influence on the biodiversity and productivity of meadows and pastures. However, according to the results of the large-scale climate and land use experiment, the extent of these changes depends on the land use......»»
Organic polymer blend microspheres exhibit ultra-low threshold lasing with highest reported quality factor
Researchers at IMDEA Nanociencia have fabricated high quality microspheres from conjugated organic polymer blends with excellent lasing properties. The laser emission of the microspheres has the highest quality factor reported to date, Q>18,000......»»
Researchers see lower meat consumption after veggie month at student canteen
What effect does a vegan/vegetarian month have on a student canteen? For this experiment, the Studierendenwerk Bonn sought scientific support from researchers at the Universities of Bonn and Kassel. They found that the impact could still be felt up t.....»»
Report: Apple TV+ to license films from more studios, bolstering catalog of originals
Earlier this year, Apple TV+ offered a collection of movies from other studios for a limited time. It turns out, that experiment was a success, as a new report indicates Apple is pursuing significantly more Hollywood deals for licensed movies to bols.....»»
Signatures of life could survive near surfaces of the moons Enceladus and Europa, NASA experiment suggests
Europa, a moon of Jupiter, and Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, have evidence of oceans beneath their ice crusts. A NASA experiment suggests that if these oceans support life, signatures of that life in the form of organic molecules (e.g. amino acids, nu.....»»

Researchers propose improvement in identification of human remains using craniofacial superimposition
Researchers have published a new study in Information Fusion that demonstrates an improvement in the identification of human remains using craniofacial superimposition, making decision-making by forensic experts much more objective......»»
3D visualization brings nuclear fusion to life
When it comes to promising forms of energy, nuclear fusion checks all the boxes: it's clean, abundant, continuous and safe. It's produced when the lightweight nuclei of two atoms fuse together to form a heavier nucleus, releasing large amounts of ene.....»»
Cape Cod scientists want to dump 60,000+ gallons of sodium hydroxide into ocean in climate change experiment
Environmentalists and fishermen are pushing back against a plan from a group of scientists who want to dump more than 60,000 gallons of sodium hydroxide, more commonly known as lye, into the ocean off Cape Cod to gain an understanding of how to slow.....»»
New analysis of Cassini data yields insights into Titan"s seas
A new study of radar experiment data from the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn has yielded fresh insights related to the makeup and activity of the liquid hydrocarbon seas near the north pole of Titan, the largest of Saturn's 146 known moons......»»
Observatory gears up to detect thousands of elusive brown dwarfs, unlocking Milky Way mysteries
One could argue that brown dwarfs don't get the love they deserve. Sometimes referred to as "failed stars," they don't have enough mass to sustain nuclear fusion, which powers all stars, including our sun. But they are also too big to be considered p.....»»
Researchers directly simulate the fusion of oxygen and carbon nuclei
The fusion of two nuclei is a complex process influenced by many factors. These factors include not only the relative energy and angular momentum of the two nuclei, but also how their structures evolve as they collide. The outcome of the collisions i.....»»

Belle II experiment reports the first direct measurement of tau-to-light-lepton ratio
The Belle II experiment is a large research effort aimed at precisely measuring weak-interaction parameters, studying exotic hadrons (i.e., a class of subatomic particles) and searching for new physical phenomena. This effort primarily relies on the.....»»
New experiment investigates light-induced Meissner effect in optically driven superconductor
Superconductivity is a fascinating phenomenon, which allows a material to sustain an electrical current without any loss. This collective quantum behavior of matter only appears in certain conductors at temperatures far below ambient......»»
This Brother printer is great, but here’s why you shouldn’t buy it
Brother's HL-L3280CDW color laser printer has a nice price, so I tested the quality, performance, and long-term value to see if it's right for you......»»
Tesla plans to delay robotaxi event by two months to build more prototypes, report says
CEO Elon Musk set the initial Aug. 8 date for the event months ago, and optimism about the spectacle has contributed to an 11-day streak of gains that’s added more than $257 billion to Tesla’s market capitalization......»»
The Mystery of Consciousness Is Deeper Than We Thought
Despite great progress, we lack even the beginning of an explanation of how the brain produces our inner world of colors, sounds, smells and tastes. A thought experiment with “pain-pleasure” zombies illustrates that the mystery is deeper.....»»
