Scientists just got to watch nearly the entirety of a kilonova explosion caused by a neutron star merger, thanks to a ...

If we figure out how to harness this effectively and efficiently, this is it. This is the end. This is the solution,” an expert tells us.

Growing up in Long Beach, California, his parents adhered to a creationist view of the universe. But young Koerner caught ...

The sun is different and does not have a fire triangle. NASA says the Sun is a huge ball of hydrogen and helium held together ...

Helium is notoriously hard to contain because, like hydrogen, it is a tiny little atom even by atomic standards. It also expands about 750 times when it turns into a gas, according to the post’s ...

For example, a helium atom has an atomic mass of 4, but an atomic number (or positive charge) of 2. Since electrons have almost no mass, it seemed that something besides the protons in the nucleus ...

The paper is called Two-, Three-, and Four-Atom Exchange Effects in bcc 3 He and studies helium-3 which becomes a superfluid ...

A fusion experiment ran so hot that the wall materials facing the plasma retained defects.

Helium can be found in certain parts of the world, notably in Texas, as a minor component in some sources of natural gas. The interesting thing is how this gas gets into the ground in the first place.

This reaction generates a helium atom and a neutron, which carries most of the energy from the reaction. Humans have successfully generated fusion reactions on Earth since 1952 – some even in ...

The atom is neutral as it has two positive protons and two negative electrons. A helium atom that has lost or gained an electron is an ion. The ion has two positive protons but one electron so it ...

A new study challenges traditional spin-statistics assumptions in ion-atom charge exchanges, revealing unexpected dynamics in C3+ and helium collisions and opening new avenues in quantum reactivity.
