Controlling a problematic instability could lead to cheaper internal fusion. Enlarge (credit: jules/CC BY 2.0) Inertial confinement fusion is one method for generating energy through nuclear fusion, albeit one plagued b.....»»
Experts highlight benefits of mainstreaming nature in U.S. policymaking
Nature and natural resources play a critical role in our health, national security, economy, infrastructure design, and more. Yet, in policymaking, nature is often left out of the equation entirely or siloed into environment-specific or land manageme.....»»
When copper becomes transparent: European XFEL creates exotic matter
Experiments at European XFEL generate states of matter that are close to what occurs in the interior of planets or in the imploding capsule of an inertial fusion reactor. At the same time, they open up a way to measure ultra-short phenomena......»»
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.....»»
Researchers reveal parsec-scale radio emission properties of dual AGNs by multi-phase-center VLBI observations
Galaxy mergers play a crucial role in the cosmological evolution of galaxies. During galaxy merging, tidal torques can trigger the accretion and feedback of the central black holes in merging galaxies, forming dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs)......»»
Illinois clean energy transition excludes key constituents in energy justice equation, study argues
Illinois has made transitioning to clean energy a major priority in recent years with the passage of the Future Energy Jobs Act (FEJA) in 2016 and the Climate and Equitable Jobs Act (CEJA) in 2021. Both pieces of legislation prioritize an equitable t.....»»
From burns to the wave nature of heat—via the telegraph equation
When a train approaches or an ambulance with its siren blaring nears us, we hear the sound with an increased frequency, gradually decreasing slightly. As it passes, the frequency changes abruptly to a lower one, then decreases further. This commonly.....»»
Spectral evidence found for Dirac spinons in a kagome lattice antiferromagnet
A new study, published in a recent issue of Nature Physics, sheds light on the long-anticipated emergence of quasiparticles, akin to the famous Dirac particles obeying the relativistic Dirac equation. These quasiparticles, known as Dirac spinons, wer.....»»
Merging nuclear physics experiments and astronomical observations to advance equation-of-state research
For most stars, neutron stars and black holes are their final resting places. When a supergiant star runs out of fuel, it expands and then rapidly collapses on itself. This act creates a neutron star—an object denser than our sun crammed into a spa.....»»
Atom interferometer charters Navy"s inertial navigation path to reduce drift
U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) researchers have developed a patent-pending Continuous 3D-Cooled Atom Beam Interferometer derived from a patented cold and continuous beam of atoms to explore atom-interferometry-based inertial measurement systems.....»»
New method to measure entropy production on the nanoscale
Entropy, the amount of molecular disorder, is produced in several systems but cannot be measured directly. An equation developed by researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, and Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, now sheds new l.....»»
