Scientists are using “trapped ions” in highly precise experiments to search for a new, fifth force of nature that could help explain elusive dark matter. The invisible dark matter is one of the ...

Predicting the lifetime of an electric ion thruster is notoriously difficult. You have to account for the chamber wall ...

The project is focused on experimentally investigating and minimizing the fundamental sources of heating in trapped ion experiments for quantum information. This heating fundamentally limits coherence ...

Behind a thin white veil separating his makeshift lab from joggers at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology indoor track, aerospace engineer Steven Barrett recently test-flew the first-ever airplane ...

Adam Barowy, Mark McKinnon and Jack Regan of UL provide 11 tactical considerations for fires and explosions at energy storage systems. UL’s Fire Safety Research Institute conducted three experiments ...

To address critical research challenges in heavy-ion collisions at Fermi-energy regimes—specifically targeting the nuclear equation of state (nEoS), Femtoscopic interferometry of light nuclei, and ...
