Experiments inside a fusion reactor in China have demonstrated a new way to circumvent one of the caps on the density of the superheated plasma swirling inside.

China’s latest advance with its so‑called artificial sun has pushed fusion plasma into a regime many physicists long treated ...

China's artificial sun breaks density limit that caused fusion experiments to fail, moving closer to clean energy.

Technology advances: the energy density of lithium-ion batteries has increased from 80 Wh/kg to around 300 Wh/kg since the beginning of the 1990s. (Courtesy: B Wang) Researchers have succeeded in ...

Most planetary systems contain worlds larger than Earth but smaller than Neptune, and the low-density planets around one ...

High energy density (HED) physics has critical applications in areas such as inertial confinement fusion and the stewardship of the nation’s nuclear weapons stockpile. Congress has requested that the ...

Researchers have applied physics theory and calculations to predict the presence of two new phenomena -- interspecies radiative transition (IRT) and the breakdown of the dipole selection rule -- in ...

Physicists in the US have devised a new technique that brings us one step closer to the possibility of using magnetic nanowires as high-density data storage devices. The technique involves moving ...
