Seeking to mimic self-assembly processes that occur naturally, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated that the self-assembly of ...

A container of oil and water separated by a thin skin of magnetized particles has intrigued a team of chemical engineers by ...

A student playing around with fluids and magnetic materials in the lab may have accidentally found an "exception" to the laws ...

Bendng the laws of thermodynamics, University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers have discovered a surprising "shape-changing liquid." ...

Only certain materials, such as iron, feel a magnetic force. Permanent magnets can come in lots of different shapes and sizes. Bar magnets and horseshoe magnets are two of the most common shapes ...

The tests which Type One Energy announced today validate the performance of its own derivative VIPER technology when used in the complex geometric shapes of a modular stellarator magnet. These tests ...

To ease the creation of these plasmas, physicists have created a new computer code that could speed up the design of the complicated magnets that shape the plasma, making stellarators simpler and ...

Fusion energy produced in a stellarator has been investigated for some time as a possible means of producing sustainable and renewable energy. Have scientists finally cracked the code? Fusion energy ...
