ON DECEMBER 5, 2022, SCIENTISTS AT THE NATIONAL IGNITION FACILITY at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California fired 192 lasers at a small pellet and essentially squeezed the deuterium-tritium fuel inside. Like many times before, the inertial confinement experiment generated only a few nanos...
A new study headed by experts at theUniversity of California, Berkeley, and theUniversity of Cambridgeprovides insight into the trajectory of energy research, development, and demonstration (RD&D), which might help policymakers recalibrate their strategy to drive innovation. The results, published recen...
Another scientist who tackled the speed of light mystery was Poland-born Albert A. Michelson, who grew up in California during the state's gold rush period, and honed his interest in physics while attending the U.S. Naval Academy, according to theUniversity of Virginia. In 1879, he attempt...
Blue and red circles respectively represent the minimum and the maximum values from the naked mole-rat (Heterocephalus glaber) and the California sea lion (Zalophus californianus). 3D representations of the skull and the maxilloturbinal in several species. Barplots: cream = terrestrial, red = ...
at the University of California at Davis. But at a conference last week in Kyoto, Japan, Wiley claimed that some radiation-induced mutations are not only inherited, but worsen with each generation—an entirely new finding. “Most studies have only considered one...
We’re Already Fighting the World’s First AI War Did Russia Steal America’s Hypersonic Secrets? America Wants a Scaled-Up, Anti-Missile Iron Dome China Says It Has the Tech to Spy on American Subs China Claims It Has a Converged Energy Beam Weapon ...
How does ocean acidification affect California? How does sea level affect climate? How are humans affected by ocean acidification? How does ocean acidification affect New Zealnd? How does plastic cause ocean warming? How is water pollution affecting the hydrologic cycle?
Grid operators, such as the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) and the Pennsylvania-Jersey-Maryland Regional Transmission Operator (PJM RTO), maintain this balance through a mix of market awareness and insights, and forecasts of weather, demand, and supply. Their goal is to provide low...
For example, in the exposure category, California and Colorado specifically identify drinking water contaminants as an issue while Washington does not; pesticide use is noted for California but not for Washington or Colorado; and the air toxics benzene and formaldehyde are indicators for Colorado but...
Discussing the IEEE International Workshop on Plasma Cosmology held in La Jolla, California, on February 20-22, 1989, it is noted that "The sponsorship of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society and the financial support of NASA is gratefully acknowledged and appreciated." (Guest Edit...
