Large Hadron Collider results suggest undiscovered physics

standard model

Recent discoveries from the research we have been conducting at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) in Cologne, Geneva, suggest that we may be on the verge of a sign of undiscovered physics. If confirmed, these hints would overturn the theory known as the Standard Model, which has dominated particle physics for 50 years. This finding … Read more

Physicists discover quantum state governing muon-catalyzed nuclear fusion

The Blueprint

Muon-catalyzed fusion is one of those strange concepts that holds enough promise to intrigue researchers, but stubbornly resists practical application. The central idea underlying this process is to replace the electrons in the hydrogen with heavier particles called muons, which draw the atomic nuclei so close together that nuclear fusion (a process that occurs at … Read more

Common rust’s rare magnetism could power ultrafast quantum devices

The Blueprint

Scientists in the US have discovered that hematite features a rare new form of magnetism, which reportedly paves the way for spintronics technology that could transform data processing and storage. The discovery, made by researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), provided one of the clearest experimental evidence of alternating magnetism, a newly confirmed third … Read more

U.S. tests spinning fuel with 180 million degrees Fahrenheit plasma for nuclear reactors

U.S. tests spinning fuel with 180 million degrees Fahrenheit plasma for nuclear reactors

Scientists in the United States have been testing spin-polarized nuclear fuel in tokamaks operating at about 100 million degrees Celsius to explore a more efficient path to nuclear fusion through particle alignment. The project, led by a research team at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility, aims to assess whether … Read more
