The ALICE experiment at the world's most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider, has given scientists their ...

Although magnetic forces are usually much weaker than gravity in shaping cosmic structures, the findings suggest that strong, ordered magnetic fields may have emerged earlier than expected. Over time, ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) A standard microwave oven sits on a laboratory bench. Inside, a small sample of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) erupts into brilliant yellow-white plasma, reaching temperatures over 800 ...

A promising technique for tracking boost-glide hypersonic vehicles involves detecting radio waves emitted by plasma in the wake. Passive detection would be a valuable capability, since existing ...

Producing biogas from the bacterial breakdown of biomass presents options for a greener energy future, but the complex composition of biomass comes with challenges. Cellulose and woody lignocellulose ...
