Astronomers believe starquakes on highly magnetic neutron stars could lead to the creation of heavy elements such as gold, ...

To help meet the growing energy demands of AI, Altman has put money into clean energy technologies such as Helion Energy (a nuclear fusion company) and Exowatt (a solar technology company). OpenAI is ...

Today, we stand on the cusp of a similarly momentous energy transformation, powered by fusion energy. But this time it is a competition between countries, not innovators, that will make all the ...

In April 2023, we reported on federal efforts to streamline fusion energy regulations. At that time, the Commissioners of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) voted to approve a proposal ...

behaving more like the multipolar magnetic fields of outer planets. This sudden shift allowed high-energy particles from the Sun to pierce the atmosphere more easily, threatening life on the ...

Scientists have long puzzled over why Mars, once protected by a global magnetic field like Earth, now shows only a magnetic imprint mostly concentrated in the planet’s southern hemisphere. A new study ...

model to calculate auroral energy fluxes and map the location and intensity of auroral displays across the globe at each time period. This one-way feedback chain allowed them to trace how changes in ...

Hostplus is investing in fusion energy. CIO Sam Sicilia says a combination ... Strong enough to lift an aircraft carrier, the magnetic field prevents the super heated plasma from touching and ...

If some particles go out of control and collide with the device's interior walls, it could damage the reactor walls or halt the nuclear fusion reaction. The research team applied a collision ...

Officials at the Department of Energy say on Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2022, there will be an announcement of a “major scientific breakthrough” on nuclear fusion. (Damien Jemison/Lawrence Livermore National ...

In a groundbreaking leap toward cleaner, more affordable energy, scientists in France held a fusion reaction steady for over 22 ... researchers in southern France carefully manipulated magnetic fields ...
