A team of U.S. scientists has made a surprising discovery that could help bring fusion energy, a long-hoped-for clean energy source, closer to reality. In a recent experiment at the University of ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

Fusion scientists have solved a long-standing mystery inside tokamaks, the donut-shaped machines designed to harness fusion ...

Dignitaries formally inaugurate the beginning of FLARE operations. From left: Vyacheslav (Slava) Lukin; Hantao Ji, PPPL physicist and FLARE’s principal investigator; Brandon Thorne, director of ...

Scientists have demonstrated a new way to use high-energy particle smashups at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC)—a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science user facility for nuclear ...

Energy teleportation sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but now, research shows that you can actually pull energy from nothing. “This really does test it,” Seth Lloyd, a quantum physicist at ...

The Joint European Torus (JET), one of the world’s largest and most powerful fusion machines, has demonstrated the ability to reliably generate fusion energy, whilst simultaneously setting a ...
