Fusion power may be a more realistic prospect than you think. As Motherboard reports, researchers at the Energy Department's Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory have discovered that a new magnetic ...

Physicists often find thrifty, ingenious ways to reuse equipment and resources. What do you do with 800 square feet of scintillator from an old physics experiment? Cut it up and give it to high ...

A new initiative is emerging at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL), the U.S. Department of Energy national laboratory managed by Princeton University. Under the direction of principal ...

Argonne’s solenoid facility provides powerful magnetic fields for testing. A limiting factor in modern physics experiments is the precision at which scientists can measure important values, such as ...

New home: the Muon g-2 ring sits in its detector hall at Fermilab, where it studies precession of muons. (Courtesy: Reidar Hahn/Fermilab) A long-standing discrepancy between the predicted and measured ...
