Boosting energy levels within damaged nerves may help them heal When the spinal cord is injured, the damaged nerve fibers—called axons—are normally incapable of regrowth, leading to permanent loss of function. Considerable research has been […]
Fusion Startup Claims Breakthrough Will Provide “Unlimited” Energy “We are sidestepping all of the scientific challenges that have held fusion energy back for more than half a century.” An Australian fusion startup called HB11, a […]
Scientists measure the evolving energy of a solar flare’s explosive first minutes Toward the end of 2017, a massive new region of magnetic field erupted on the Sun’s surface next to an existing sunspot. The […]
Sustainable supply of minerals and metals key to a low-carbon energy future The global low-carbon revolution could be at risk unless new international agreements and governance mechanisms are put in place to ensure a sustainable […]
Heat Energy Has Leapt Across an Empty Vacuum Thanks to a Weird Quantum Effect Quantum physics has up-ended classical physics again, this time enabling heat to transfer across empty space without any of the atoms […]
Hubble studies gamma-ray burst with the highest energy ever seen New observations from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have investigated the nature of the gamma-ray burst GRB 190114C. Gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions […]
