Decades of weird experimental results appeared to support the existence of the sterile neutrino, a hypothetical particle that ...

A groundbreaking collaboration between Los Alamos scientists and Duke University has resurrected a nearly forgotten 1938 experiment that may have quietly sparked the age of fusion energy. Arthur ...

A Los Alamos collaboration has replicated an important but largely forgotten physics experiment: the first deuterium-tritium (DT) fusion observation. As described in the article published in Physical ...

On an October morning in 2023, a chemical explosion detonated in a tunnel under the Nevada desert was the launch of the next set of experiments by the National Nuclear Security Administration, with ...

Nearly every object we interact with in our lives has a mass, but where does this mass come from? Modern physics says matter ...

A new measurement of the strong nuclear force, which binds protons and neutrons together, confirms previous hints of an uncomfortable truth: We still don’t have a solid theoretical grasp of even the ...

The U.S. and China lead global efforts to make nuclear fusion commercially viable, with billion-dollar projects aiming for net-positive energy. Los Alamos scientists successfully recreated a 1938 ...
