Cold atom experiments are among the most powerful and precise ways of investigating and measuring the Universe and exploring the quantum world. By trapping atoms and exploiting their quantum ...

In October, the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) kicked off a ceremony to repurpose the iconic Experimental Breeder Reactor-II (EBR-II) containment structure at Idaho National Laboratory (INL ...

Practical fusion power that can provide cheap, clean energy could be a step closer thanks to artificial intelligence. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have developed a deep ...

Exploring power output in a magnetic loop using Faraday’s law and understanding how changing magnetic fields generate electrical energy. Learn the fundamental principles of electromagnetic induction, ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

An unassuming pile of black graphite bricks containing uranium became known famously as Chicago Pile 1, the world’s first human-created, self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. Eighty years later, ...

Four experiments on the Z machine at 22 million amps provide data on simplified ‘targets’ for pulsed-power inertial fusion concepts Pacific Fusion today reported results from a series of experiments ...

The most beautiful experiment in physics, according to a poll of Physics World readers, is the interference of single electrons in a Young’s double slit. Robert P Crease reports Simply beautiful – the ...

Quantum physics didn’t set out to explain the mind. It set out to explain matter. And yet, the deeper scientists went into the smallest building blocks of reality, the harder it became to ignore one ...

Professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab develops chip-scale components that can bring the power and precision of quantum science outside of the tightly controlled environment of the lab. (Santa Barbara, ...

Cold atom experiments trap atoms to probe quantum effects, enabling ultra-precise sensing, timekeeping, and monitoring of Earth and space phenomena. (Nanowerk News) Cold atom experiments are among the ...
