Wouldn’t it be nice if our bills for electricity could be cut in half? How about other energy prices that always seem to ...

The Penn State Alumni Association recently won the Centre County Historical Society’s President’s Award for the historical ...

Chinese scientists sustain plasma at 100 million degrees C for 1,066 seconds in EAST, advancing nuclear fusion research.

Isotopes are atoms of the same element that have varying numbers of neutrons, which changes their mass -- the more neutrons, the heavier the atom. These measurements are particularly useful in ...

Fusion technology is a long way from powering a grid — if it ever will. Dozens of fusion startups have launched anyway.

The periodic table organizes chemical elements based on atomic weight, electron configurations, and chemical properties, reflecting the evolving nature of chemistry with updates like new elements and ...

If an atom has a magic number of both protons and neutrons, it has the very scientific sounding name of being ‘doubly magic.’ So, when scientists at the Radioactive Isotope Beam Factory ...
