Keeping high-power particle accelerators at peak performance requires advanced and precise control systems. For example, the primary research machine at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

For decades, one of fusion energy’s hardest problems has been keeping superheated plasma from blasting holes in reactor walls. A United States team working on the DIII-D tokamak now reports using ...

Trump admin is pulling supercomputers out of key weather research center ...

Researchers at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility have identified a new method to tame ...

If investigations led by a team of Southern Illinois University Carbondale physics researchers succeed, refrigerators and air ...

A University of Houston professor has taken on the global challenge of reducing the staggering amount of heat generated in ...

Scientists say that multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet in increased danger of following a "hothouse" path driven by feedback ...

Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.

All of this is prompting chip designers to explore new strategies to dial down the heat. These include using exotic materials like graphene and diamond, incorporating advanced packaging techniques ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...
