- Quantum 'umbilical cord' links metal and insulator states in many materials, study shows
A kind of umbilical cord between different quantum states can be found in some materials. Researchers at TU Wien have now shown that this "umbilical cord" is generic to many materials.
- Controlling plasma heat in a fusion energy power plant: 'Louvers' on fusion device should exhaust gases as hot as a star
Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) is developing a tokamak device called SPARC. The company aims to demonstrate the critical fusion energy milestone of producing more output power than input power for the first time in a device that can scale up to commercial power plant size. However, this achievement is only possible if the plasma doesn't melt the device.

- Unveiling the mystery behind Australia’s 1,400-year-old ancient earth rings
Mysterious earth rings emerge from the hills onto the outskirts of Melbourne, Australia, in the suburb of Sunbury; they bear the secrets of hundreds of years in their silent rings. These incredible earthworks were created by the Aboriginal Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung people between 590 and 1,400 years ago and are now considered artifacts of great cultural The post Unveiling the mystery behind Australia’s 1,400-year-old ancient earth rings appeared first on Archaeology News Online Magazine.

- Solar Observatory sees coronal loops flicker before big flares
Greenbelt MD (SPX) Jan 16, 2025 For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares - intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, one team has identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere, or corona, that seem to signal when the Sun is about to unleash a large flare. These warning signs
- Clouds play key role in moderating Earth's surface warming
Los Angeles CA (SPX) Jan 16, 2025 McGill University researchers have revealed that changes in cloud cover are helping to slightly counteract global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to drive temperatures upward, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has contributed to a small decrease in the amount of heat retained near the Earth's surface. "We started this research to observationally verify the increase of green
