The Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak achieved a remarkable scientific milestone by maintaining steady-state high-confinement plasma operation for an impressive 1,066 seconds. Credit: ...

China’s Hefei Institutes of Physical Science has claimed a new world record for maintaining a steady-state high-confinement plasma operation, a feat needed to create a fusion reactor that in theory ...

Over the last several years, it has consistently broken fusion records, and it can now add a new one to its collection: the longest sustained ultra-hot plasma. They kept it going for 1,066 seconds ...

The development of laser–plasma accelerators began in the early 1980s, inspired by the pioneering work of Tajima and Dawson 1. Key to their operation is the fact that unlike the superconducting ...

F-actin, a major component of the cytoskeleton, is essential for the morphogenesis of tissues and organs during development. F-actin is formed by the polymerization of G-actin, and the dynamic balance ...

This approach requires the use of B- and H-rich materials as targets, and common practice is the use of BN and conventional polymers. In this work, we chose plasma-assisted vapour phase deposition to ...

In those first evanescent moments of extreme temperature, however, quarks and gluons were bound only weakly, free to move on their own in what’s called a quark-gluon plasma. To recreate conditions ...
