Nuclear fusion. Credit: The Conversation. The reinforcement learning algorithm, which controls the scorching plasma within a tokamak nuclear fusion reactor, was developed by an AI company backed by Google. The interior of a tokamak– the doughnut-shaped vessel created to include a nuclear fusion reaction– presents a unique type of chaos. Hydrogen atoms are shattered together at...

They gave the courses as part of an ongoing research trial by The University of Queensland. The program is examining better ways to tend to the psychological well-being of the mothers, specifically in supporting them in...
Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public Domain Our intestine is residence to plenty of bacteria, which help us digest food. However, just what do the microorganisms do inside the body? Which enzymes do they create, and when? And how do the bacteria metabolize health-promoting foods that aid us in minimizing disease? To obtain replies to such matters, researchers at...
Scientists have discovered evidence that the Earth’s inner core oscillates, contradicting previously held beliefs that it consistently rotates at a faster rate than the planet’s surface. A groundbreaking study by USC researchers challenges the previous model that the Earth's inner core rotates continuously faster than the planet's surface. According to their research, published in Science Advances,...
These rocks at the Devil’s Punchbowl geologic formation near Los Angeles were uplifted by movement along the Punchbowl Fault, a now-inactive portion of the larger San Andreas Fault New study might develop understanding of how today's tremors release energy Earthquakes have rocked the planet for ages. Studying the quakes of old could aid scientists in better...

Basically, an entry-level laptop device that was designed to handle the Chromebooks, the Surface Laptop Go 2 is the 2nd generation device that builds on the original Surface Laptop Go released a few years back....
Hidden magnetic field lines stretch millions of light years across the universe. Credit: Quanta Magazine. When we look into space, all of the astrophysical objects seen are enclosed in magnetic fields. This holds not only in the neighborhood of stars and planets but likewise in the deep space between galaxies and galactic clusters. These fields are...
A view of Piz Benina. Credit: CGTN. The renowned snow-capped peaks of the Alps are fading quick and being replaced by vegetation cover-- a procedure called "greening" that is predicted to increase climate change, a study said Thursday. The research, released in Science, was based on 38 years of satellite images throughout the entirety of the...
A study led by the Murdoch Children Research Institute (MCRI) found that multiple infections in infancy could put adults at a higher risk of heart disease, obesity, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. A possible relation between infant infections and the chance of heart disease has been discovered Newborns have weakened body immune systems. Therefore, they are...
In a new experiment, scientists created two time crystals inside the superfluid, and brought them to touch. Credit: SciTechdaily. Time crystals were long considered impractical because their continuous movement would seem to challenge the laws of physics. Utilizing quantum physics, scientists have developed time crystals and now proved that they can power helpful tools in...
