The achievement shows kinetic energy from charged exhaust particles can be converted into useful electricity, but it's still not a working commercial reactor.

A researcher at The University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH), a part of The University of Alabama System, has published a new study in The Astrophysical Journal suggesting that tiny charged dust ...

Scientists have engineered a nanoscale switch using DNA "origami." Inspired by macroscale mechanical switches, the device achieves long-term functionality without the continuous forcing mechanism that ...

The Sun’s outer atmosphere may have a dust problem—and that dust might be heating it up. A new study suggests that tiny charged grains near the Sun can change how energy moves through the corona, the ...

Sodium-ion batteries are considered a promising technology for large-scale energy storage because sodium is abundant and widely distributed. A major ...

Charged cosmic dust may play a key role in heating the solar corona, which explains why the sun's outer atmosphere is hundreds of times hotter than its surface. This was reported by the Science X news ...

A University at Buffalo physicist has received two U.S. Department of Defense grants totaling $1.1 million to study the quantum dynamics that could help advance neutral-atom quantum computing.

Realta Fusion, the world's leading magnetic mirror fusion energy company, today announced the first ever demonstration of direct energy conversion (DEC) of plasma kinetic energy into electricity by a ...

One of the biggest unanswered questions in solar physics may have gained an unexpected new lead. Researchers analyzing ...

Discover the science behind cricket pitches and why some surfaces produce dangerous or unpredictable bounce. Learn how clay, grass, moisture, rolling techniques, and pitch preparation influence pace, ...

Collisional resistivity saturation has a hard quantum ceiling, a University of Toronto experiment shows: ultracold ...

Electrical resistance is easy to notice and hard to pin down. Power lines shed energy as heat, and metals warm up when ...
