Plasma rotation simulations could help fusion reactors survive decades of use

Scientists have long seen a puzzling pattern in tokamaks, the doughnut-shaped machines that could one day reliably generate electricity from fusing atoms. When plasma particles escape the core of the ...

Scientists Propose Bold New Way to Harness Energy from the Earth’s Rotation

For nearly two centuries, scientists have wondered if Earth’s rotation through its magnetic field could produce electricity. The idea was first tested by Michael Faraday in 1832, but his experiments ...
