For a long time, the Greenwald limit was accepted as a given and incorporated into fusion reactor engineering. The new work shows that precise control over how the plasma is created and interacts with ...

Gainesville families have been coming together for 20 years to instill the joy of science into their children at Molecular Mania. Through the event, UF’s chemistry department has worked to create a ...

Quantum sensors based on diamond promise robustness but have limited sensitivity. Generating quantum correlations in the material might be a solution. Klemens Hammerer is at the Institute for ...

When I was in first grade, I was already learning things at school my mom couldn’t help me with. She hadn’t grown up in America, and education wasn’t part of her story the way it became part of mine.

If you have a small outdoor space, you might think that creating a beautiful pathway is impossible. You might not believe but small spaces can actually be a blessing when it comes to pathways. With a ...

Once complete, ITER will run fusion experiments using five times as much plasma as the largest reactors in operation today. Reading time 2 minutes Stakeholders around the world are vying to realize ...
