The use of titanium-50 in such laboratory reactions, known as fusion-evaporation, had indeed been a challenge for physicists for many years. But the effort was worth it: under the right conditions, ...

Quantum entanglement discovered inside protons for the first time Quarks and gluons shown to share information in entangled states Entropy measurements confirm ...

Nuclear fusion, which is the source of the energy released from the Sun is considered the ultimate energy source even on Earth.

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

It should have been bigger news. When the National Ignition Facility conducted a successful fusion experiment, we got a front-row seat to what could happen if this technology is ever perfected.

Scientists at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) have found new evidence that collisions of small nuclei with large ones can create tiny specks of quark-gluon plasma (QGP), a state of ...

Scientists have peered inside protons and discovered that quarks and gluons, their fundamental building blocks, experience quantum entanglement. Entangled particles are connected to each other ...

Scientists believe such a substance of free quarks and gluons, the building blocks of protons and neutrons, permeated the universe a fraction of a second after the Big Bang. RHIC's energetic ...
