A laser-driven technique could reignite research into fusing protons and boron nuclei, which make up the most seductive and challenging fuel for generating energy from nuclear fusion. While the ...

Nuclear physicists used a little magic in their latest experiment conducted at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas ...

Generally, it's injected as a way to condition the walls of the containment vessel, clear up impurities, reduce turbulence and improve plasma confinement, and to bump up the electron density of the ...

Graphene, impermeable to all gases and liquids, can easily allow protons to pass through it researchers have found. Published in the journal Nature, the discovery could revolutionise fuel cells and ...

Work opens a path to precise calculations of the structure of other nuclei. In a study that combines experimental work and theoretical calculations made possible by supercomputers, scientists have ...

Graphene and atomically thin crystals of boron nitride conduct protons far better than predicted and could radically enhance the performance of hydrogen fuel cells, according to an international ...

In a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to ...
