Scientists have found a way to use an x-ray to recreate conditions in aging stars. (White Dwarfs) This machine is referred to as the Z machine, which is located at Sandia National Labs. They figured why not make a machine like this to learn more about white dwarfs. When they use this machine it can imitate the [...]

Scientists at the Cornell’s Neil Ashcroft have found new phases of water, particularly ice, at very high pressure levels. Although these high pressure levels don’t exist on earth, they are most likely found in many places in outer space. Different structures of ice have been predicted in the 1-5 terapascal pressure rang. What does that [...]

A huge step in nuclear fusion has been made. Scientists have figured out how to prevent the development of instabilities in an efficient alternative way relevant to a future nuclear fusion reactor for the first time. This will make a newer, better reactor easier and more obtainable. Nuclear reactors are our attempt to recreate the [...]

Higgs boson, also know as the god particle, is a hypothetical massive elementary particle that is said to exist.  Its existence is predicted by the Standard Model (SM) to explain how spontaneous breaking of electro weak symmetry takes place in nature. This will prove that particles have mass. This would prove that the SM is correct. Recently in a lab in [...]
