While this experiment didn’t achieve net energy gain, it does show that the path to usable fusion energy may not require billion-dollar machines. The Thunderbird Reactor is small enough to fit on a ...

Autonomy, by contrast, is about decision‑making and adaptation. The leap from automation to autonomy is not just more actuators; it is a system that can perceive its environment, reason about options, ...

Like office workers escaping from the perceived confines of cubicles, today’s scientists have been freed from the trappings of the typical lab bench. Advances in technology allowing for increased ...

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has published an extensive paper confirming the validity of its 2022 fusion experiment where multiple lasers focused on a sphere of deuterium and tritium to ...

Over the last several years, Northwestern Engineering’s Wesley Burghardt expanded the content in his CHEM_ENG 321: Fluid Mechanics course to emphasize the practical aspects about how fluid pumps work.
