Recent progress in kilojoule-scale high-intensity lasers has opened up new areas of research in radiography, laboratory astrophysics, high-energy-density physics, and fast-ignition (FI) laser fusion.

WXMI — In our science experiment today, we look at a disappearing coin trick, which really is no trick at all. It illustrates density and refraction. Some things are more dense (or heavier) than other ...

What is the purpose of prescribed practical P4? To investigate experimentally the relationship between the mass and volume of liquids and regular solids, and analyse and interpret the data gathered.

A worker rides on his bicycle in the CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) tunnel during maintenance. In late May, I had a chance to visit CERN, near Geneva, and visit with Jakub Mościcki, head of CERN’s ...

AMES, Iowa – It won’t be long before aluminum parts manufactured in Ames are part of a $28 million upgrade to a nuclear physics experiment at a national laboratory in New York. Veronica Canoa Roman, ...

GRAND RAPIDS — What is density? Why is it important to us? In a previous experiment we learned about buoyancy with an orange sinking or floating and now we are going to learn about density with an egg ...

A way of controlling the size of instabilities in the plasma of fusion reactors has been discovered by an international team of researchers. Large instabilities can damage a reactor, while small ...
