Stars are colossal fusion reactors, burning hydrogen into helium. As the nuclei fuse lighter elements into heavier elements, massive amounts of energy are released. A new game sets you the task of ...

Astronomers have glimpsed the inner structure of a dying star in a rare kind of cosmic explosion called an "extremely stripped supernova." Low-energy nuclear fusion reactions can potentially provide ...

(Phys.org)—A dying star is refusing to go quietly into the night, as seen in this combined infrared and ultraviolet view from NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope and the Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX), ...

A new computing platform that pairs artificial intelligence (AI) with high performance computing aims to end the bottleneck holding back fusion energy research by speeding the simulations needed to ...
