Physicists have measured a nuclear reaction that can occur in neutron star collisions, providing direct experimental data for a process that had previously only been theorised. The study provides new ...

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed.

The discovery that helium and iron can mix at the temperatures and pressures found at the center of Earth could settle a long-standing debate over how our planet formed. Primordial helium from the ...

This rare form of helium is called helium-3 because it has two protons and one neutron in its nucleus. Normal helium, which is 700,000 times more common than helium-3, is called helium-4 because ...

Thomas Blood, commercial sector sustainability leader for EMEA at Amazon Web Services (AWS), outlines how the growing demand for energy from AI can be met with carbon-free electricity, and explores AI ...

Using data from the Euclid Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered a stunning 2,674 dwarf galaxies, the study of which ...

Only at such temperatures is it possible to overcome the repulsion of two positively charged hydrogen atomic nuclei and fuse them into a helium nucleus. The advantage of the stellarator is that it ...
