Thanks to a new experimental technique, scientists have now measured a crucial fusion reaction, involving hydrogen and a rare isotope of oxygen, that occurs inside stars. Stars shine because nuclear ...
Scientists at the University of British Columbia (UBC) have developed a method to increase fusion reaction rates at room temperature. Using a custom-built, bench-top reactor, the team demonstrated ...
Researchers have solved for a key variable in a reaction that happened very early after the Big Bang. By blasting protons into a deuterium cloud, the scientists simulated the way early elements bonded ...
