Humanity has long considered the Moon a place of wonder and possibility. Now it’s being talked about as a potential source for one of humankind’s most unusual and valuable materials: Helium-3. Locked ...

A new class of advanced steels needs more fine-tuning before use in system components for fusion energy—a more sustainable alternative to fission that combines two light atoms rather than splitting ...

Researchers have employed a combination of thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS), neutron depth profiling (NDP), and laser ablation mass spectrometry (LAMS) alongside cluster dynamics modeling to ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Using the IRAM array of millimetre-wave telescopes in the French Alps, a team of European astronomers from Germany, the UK and France have discovered a large reservoir of gas and dust ...

Fusion is the process of building up simple atoms into larger more complex ones. It releases a lot of energy, and occurs every day in the sun as well as every other star in the Universe. The trick for ...

Essential for MRIs, some researchers have already begun recycling efforts. The superfluid phenomenon where liquid helium spouts like a fountain from a flask. At minus 271 degrees Celsius, liquid ...
