Scientists have used an X-ray detector on a sounding rocket, a type of research rocket that flies to the edge of space, then ...

Scientists have watched branching crystals form inside cooling liquid metal in microgravity for the first time. The results could help manufacturers produce stronger and more reliable metal parts for ...

This liquid NaK experiment explores how a reactive metal alloy behaves when it is introduced beneath the water instead of from above. The project first focuses on storing the material in a controlled ...

A promising experiment that encloses hot, magnetically confined plasma in a full wall of liquid lithium is undergoing a $2 million upgrade at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Princeton Plasma ...

A national research program strategy on the use of liquid metals in fusion systems was discussed on Jan. 22 at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). The ...

Construction workers have finished the excavation of the huge caverns that will house the international Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment. While engineers and technicians are preparing for the ...
