(Nanowerk News) As in Alice's journey through the looking-glass to Wonderland, mirrors in the real world can sometimes behave in surprising and unexpected ways, including a new class of mirror that ...

Nuclear fusion comes in all shapes and sizes, and while donut-shaped tokamaks are the most common, many companies and universities are investigating other ways to bring star power in cheaper and more ...

New research by Realta Fusion's computational physics team predicts high energy gain and paves the way to solving plasma instabilities long associated with magnetic mirrors MADISON, Wis., Aug. 7, 2025 ...

A Sweden-based firm has launched a plasma confinement project to achieve commercially viable fusion energy. The TauEB project by Novatron Fusion Group aims to revolutionize plasma confinement and ...

Researchers have created a new magnetic mirror-based device that could one day help cosmologists discover new details about ripples in space-time known as gravitational waves, particularly those ...

A team of physicists at the University of Cologne has solved a long-standing problem of condensed matter physics: they have directly observed the Kondo effect (the re-grouping of electrons in a metal ...

Magnetic mirrors are able to reflect light in ways old-fashioned mirrors can not, possibly leading to a new generation of technologies. Infrared wavelengths, slightly longer than those visible by the ...

Once upon a time, I worked at a research institute that was, for the most part, devoted to nuclear fusion. Although I was never involved myself, two things impressed me about the research. The first ...

Scientists have demonstrated, for the first time, a new type of mirror that forgoes a familiar shiny metallic surface and instead reflects infrared light by using an unusual magnetic property of a non ...
