Spectroscopic measurements reveal that main ions flow much faster than impurities at the edge of fusion-relevant plasmas.
Surprisingly, a magnetic island does not necessarily perturb the plasma current in a dangerous way and destroy fusion performance.
Scientists discover why solar flares produce X-rays; a few electrons avoid collisions and accelerate to produce a microsecond burst.
Researchers modeled design concepts for innovative, opposed-piston engine on Titan supercomputer.

The 3.7-billion-year-old structures were considered the first evidence for life on the planet; new evidence suggests differently.
Scientists use implanted silicon ions and electricity to increase the spin time of quantum bits, moving closer to the tech needed for quantum networks.
Molybdenum-based complex harvests light to make inert nitrogen gas reactive to potentially become part of fertilizer.
Optimized oxides made from common metals use less energy and show the potential of new design approach.
Scientists catch details with atomic resolution, potentially helping design systems to use sunlight and water to produce fuels.
