  Dynamic shell formation was first demonstrated experimentally at the University of Rochester’s Laser Energetics Laboratory. Fusion, which replicates the same reaction that powers the sun, has long been seen as an ideal energy source due to its potential to be safe, clean, cheap and reliable. Since the early 1960s, scientists have pursued the possibility …

Just as Charles Darwin once used the fossil record to tell the story of the evolution of life on Earth, astronomers are using the first light to shine in the universe to understand the events that shaped the cosmos. This early light is called the “Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB),” leftover radiation that spreads almost uniformly …

MIT physicists have successfully imaged the pairings of particles in a cloud of atoms, providing new insights into the behavior of electrons in superconducting materials. The discovery, documented in the journal Science, could help understand superconductivity and the further development of heatless electronics. (Artists concept.)   The images shed light on how electrons form superconducting …

For the first time ever, the SNO+ experiment demonstrated the ability to detect neutrinos emitted from a nuclear reactor located more than 240 km away using natural water. Science     Therefore, devices of immense size and high sensitivity are required to capture the tiny signals from neutrinos. The SNO+ experiment recently demonstrated that a …

One might think that after centuries of studying light, we know just about everything about it. It’s true that we’ve had breakthrough after breakthrough in using it, from enlightenment to communication, from examining the micro and macro universes to scanning our own bodies. We understand that light is an electromagnetic wave, thanks to James Clerk …

Christopher Nolan Oppenheimer’s highly anticipated film, to be released July 21, 2023, depicts J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. But while the Manhattan Project wouldn’t have been possible without the work of many expert female scientists, the only women seen in the film’s trailer are hanging out the …
