Scientists tame damaging edge instabilities in steady-state conditions required in a fusion reactor.

A novel experimental geometry at the Linac Coherent Light Source reveals how silicon responds to shocks similar to those in a planet's core.

Spectroscopic measurements reveal that main ions flow much faster than impurities at the edge of fusion-relevant plasmas.

Surprisingly, a magnetic island does not necessarily perturb the plasma current in a dangerous way and destroy fusion performance.

Scientists discover why solar flares produce X-rays; a few electrons avoid collisions and accelerate to produce a microsecond burst.

Two most abundant elements in the universe, hydrogen & helium, were previously thought to be impossible to measure by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

Scientists use implanted silicon ions & electricity to increase the spin time of quantum bits, moving closer to the tech needed for quantum networks.

Far from being a mere spectator, solvents can play a larger role in chemical reactions, likely including those used in energy storage and biology.
