A breakthrough moment in a physics experiment demonstrating the Faraday effect, showing how magnetic fields can influence the ...

A new experiment conducted at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) assessed the ability of U.S. nuclear weapons to survive encounters with adversary missile defenses and reach their targets. The ...

Scientist have taken one more step in making the use of fusion energy a reality. Researchers at the Joint European Torus Laboratory in Oxfordshire were able to produce 59 megajoules of heat from a ...

Chinese researchers are reporting new steps in the quest for animal-to-human organ transplants – with a successful pig kidney transplant and a hint Wednesday that pig livers might eventually be useful ...

If you’d like to pursue being a researcher or scientist by profession, it’s helpful to understand the best way to develop hypotheses and test them to determine results. And even if you don’t decide to ...

Harvard scientists plan to launch a balloon this summer to test the equipment needed for the first geoengineering experiments in the stratosphere. Trapped inside a long glass tube in a ground-floor ...

An experimental nuclear fusion project has set a world record in generating energy on Earth using the same kind of reactions that power the sun. In the new experiments, the Joint European Torus (JET) ...
