Scientists in the United States have come up with a physics-based algorithm that could one day make it possible for nuclear ...

The transverse Thomson effect is observed for the first time: current, heat, and magnetic fields generate controlled cooling ...

The algorithm is grounded in math and physics and allows a nuclear microreactor to automatically control its thermal power.

The study published last month in the science journal, Nature Physics, explains how ice can produce electricity, similar to ...

A tiny engine comprised of a glass bead zapped with electric fields behaves as if it is operating 2000 times hotter than the ...

The team speculates that this newly discovered electric ice might be part of that mechanism. If nothing else, it's a tidbit you can bring out that will stop any conversation about the weather being ...

Ice generates electricity as a response to stress when it bends. Experiments with pure and saline ice found that with enough ...

A new way of generating clean power could run your lights with rain. Hydropower typically relies on the movement of water to create electricity through mechanical energy, such as spinning turbines in ...

A team from Simon Fraser University’s Quantum Technology Lab, working with the Canadian quantum company Photonic Inc., has ...

Mohammad Malakooti has a look in his eye — like a man who wants to break something. “We are going to actually go to 700% to make sure it’s going to break,” he said. “You know, sometimes we need to ...
