Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have identified the true source of a magnetic effect seen in the ...

OpenStar Technologies, a New Zealand-based fusion energy startup, has trapped plasma inside a levitated superconducting magnet, a feat that no company or laboratory had previously achieved with ...

New Zealand-based fusion energy startup OpenStar Technologies says it has become the first commercial company in the world to successfully create and confine plasma using a levitated dipole reactor.

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

Fusion power may be a more realistic prospect than you think. As Motherboard reports, researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that a new magnetic ...

You’ve probably heard the term magnetic gradient before, but have you ever seen one? Now you can in [supermagnetman’s] video, below. The key is to use very fine (2 micron) iron filings and special ...

Researchers have discovered a new type of magnetism in 2D materials that can help ...

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry "spintronic" memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up ...

This activity is part of the Science Friday Sun Camp collection! The Sun generates an incredible amount of energy, energy that you can see and feel as light and heat. Other forms of energy from the ...
