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 ...

In a new paper, an international team of researchers revisited the idea of blowing up an incoming asteroid with a nuclear ...

Planetary defence research often sits between modelling and imagination, with few chances to test real materials under realistic conditions. A new study changes that balance slightly. Scientists have ...

Could humanity nuke an incoming asteroid to deflect it and save the Earth, disaster-movie style? A unique new impact simulation suggests that a nuclear option could be a viable last resort to avert an ...

MIT engineers are using recycled plastic to 3D print construction-grade beams, trusses, and other structural elements that could one day offer lighter, modular, and more sustainable alternatives to ...

Abstract The evaluation of the deflection in beams is an indispensable step of the structural design. Currently, many standard codes adopt the Branson’s model. However, the Branson’s model ...

Researchers have developed a highly accurate single cell sorting technology using focused sound waves. This new technology enables rapid and accurate isolation of single cells from complex biological ...

An investigation using ion beams applies cutting-edge techniques to the mysterious books—whose authenticity has been questioned by numerous experts and authorities—revealing a complex composition and ...

Just as most of you (and the analysts at the Department of Energy and the FBI) thought that COVID-19 originated in a Chinese laboratory, along comes a March 16 report in The Atlantic. The report says ...

He shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on gravitational waves, which helped confirm Einstein’s general theory of relativity and how the universe began. By Dylan Loeb McClain Rainer Weiss, ...
