Photo Credit: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory In 2022, scientists at California’s Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory had a historic scientific breakthrough when they managed to achieve fusion “ignition” for the very first time.  The process involved firing 192 extremely powerful lasers at a tiny capsule containing fusion fuel. Once the lasers entered it, the result was a 3-million-degree oven that heated …

In the frantic hours after Charlie Kirk’s assassination, investigators discovered a gun in a wooded area near the scene in northern Utah. The federal agents seeking to trace the weapon faced a daunting task.

Astronomers have used an X-ray spacecraft called XRISM to observe powerful winds blowing from a neutron star — the findings could be a “game changer” for physics. The team discovered unexpected differences between powerful and energetic winds blowing from swirling disks of gas and dust, called accretion disks, around extreme “dead stars,” or neutron stars, and winds that flow from …

The new data center is massive at 1.2 million square feet spread over three buildings on 315 acres of land.

Some atoms are stable, while others seem to fall apart. Lead-208 will probably last forever, while the synthetic isotope technetium-99 exists for just hours. The difference lies in the structure of the atom’s nucleus, with certain “magic numbers” of nuclear particles making some isotopes especially resistant to radioactive decay. So what are these magic numbers, and why are they so …
