Fragment Zoo Physical scientists thought there were only three basic elements for most of the first half of the twentieth century: the known proton, neutron, and electron. Nonetheless, by the mid-1960s, that image had shifted. Improvements to particle accelerators and detector technology set the stage for the discovery of a seemingly infinite number of new […]

Community Fusion System (CFS) and MIT’s Plasma Science and Fusion Center claimed that a high-temperature superconducting magnet was successfully tested. The 20-tesla field intensity, according to MIT researchers and CFS, is the most intense electromagnetic field ever created on Earth, paving the way for the construction of the first fusion power generator. Magnet design is

The theories and findings of countless physicists since the 1930s led to an excellent insight into the basic structure of matter. They found that there are a few basic building blocks known as fundamental particles that compose everything in the universe, ruled by four fundamental forces. Our best understanding of just how these particles and
