The Joint European Torus (JET), one of the world’s largest and most powerful fusion machines, has proven its capability to consistently produce fusion energy and has also established a new world record for energy output. These notable accomplishments represent a significant milestone in the field of...
Advanced simulations of heavy atomic nucleus collisions have shown that the viscosity of the quark-gluon plasma increases with net-baryon density. This research, significant for understanding the phase transitions of nuclear matter, leverages data from various energy collisions to refine theoretical...
Researchers at Lehigh University use mayonnaise in experiments to better understand the dynamics of fusion capsules, essential for advancing inertial confinement fusion as a viable energy source. Mayonnaise continues to be a key ingredient in ongoing research into the physics of nuclear fusion. “We’...
China’s “Artificial Sun” Shatters Fusion Record With Over 17 Minutes of Plasma
