Harnessing the power of the sun holds the promise of providing future societies with energy abundance. To make this a reality, fusion researchers need to address many technological challenges. For ...

At the same time, a current of cold electrons travels toward the heated plasma from the opposite direction. When the two meet, the plasma develops filament-shaped instabilities that SLAC’s facilities ...

Understanding what complex chemical measurements reveal about materials and reactions can take weeks or months of analysis. But now, an AI-powered platform developed by researchers at the Department ...

In chemistry, molecules with a "flat" geometry are often stable enough to support a wide range of reactions. But in the quantum world, that's not technically true.

"Effectively bridges the gap." Researchers make major breakthrough in pursuit of nearly limitless energy source: 'Addresses a central challenge' first appeared on The Cool Down.

Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is spearheading the development of three projects to advance scientific research in AI.

The total energy of the ball consists of its potential energy (related to position) plus its kinetic energy (related to motion). To zero out both components, you would have to give a precise value to ...

Explore the 'Quantum Century Exhibition' celebrating women scientists while simplifying complex quantum mechanics for all ages.

European XFEL reveals hidden cages inside eggs. Egg yolk may appear runny and uniform, but on the nanoscale, it is one of the most crowded biological fluids in nature. Packed with proteins and fats, ...

Egg yolk may appear runny and uniform, but on the nanoscale, it is one of the most crowded biological fluids in nature.

The history of science has long been dominated by familiar male names, yet women have made extraordinary contributions that ...
