It's part of the STEP — Spherical Tokamak for Energy Production — program implemented by U.K. Industrial Fusion Solutions.

Data is growing at a staggering pace, pushing charge-based microelectronics, such as smartphones and laptops, to their ...

If you took introductory physics, you learned about the “fundamental forces.” It goes something like this: All interactions are the result of one or more of five basic forces: strong nuclear, weak ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new research ...

Scientists in the United States have created a small device that produces a tiny electrical signal from Earth’s natural rotation. Although the voltage is extremely small, the experiment shows that ...

Superconductivity—the ability of a material to conduct electricity without any energy loss to heat—enables highly efficient, ...

The close connection of electricity and magnetism is one of the cornerstones of modern physics. This connection has a crucial role from a fundamental point of view and in practical applications, ...

It's not surprising that the powertrains of electric cars differ quite a bit from traditional internal-combustion engines. Although they have fewer moving parts, the rare-earth magnets that help power ...

I have talked about the course I teach for elementary education majors before (videos for education majors, Spring Course reflections). Anyway, the nature of the course is that students collect ...
