For the first time, physicists present a unified theory explaining two characteristic features of frustrated magnets and why they're often seen together. When physicists send neutrons shooting through ...

I had a friend who was an electronics assembly tech for a big defense contractor. He was a production floor guy who had a chip on his shoulder for the engineers with their fancy book-learnin’ who ...

Work led to major increase in power output and hastened first fusion success Albuquerque, N.M. _ Some physicists believe that the pulses of power formed in a technique called a Z-pinch may one day be ...

The applications of wire-array “Z-pinches” are experiencing a renaissance. In recent years, researchers at Sandia in the US, Imperial College in the UK, and the Troitsk Institute in Russia, among ...

Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have reported advancements in understanding plasma pressure profiles within flow-stabilized Z-pinch fusion, a candidate for achieving net ...

Plasmas, like most fluids, usually become more homogeneous when subjected to turbulence. But in the Earth's magnetosphere, and in an unusual device whose confining field is generated by a levitated ...

Albuquerque, N.M. _ Some physicists believe that the pulses of power formed in a technique called a Z-pinch may one day be a more efficient source of fusion power than magnetic confinement used by ...
