A laser-driven technique could reignite research into fusing protons and boron nuclei, which make up the most seductive and challenging fuel for generating energy from nuclear fusion. While the ...

Exceptionally high reaction gains of hydrogen protons measured with the boron isotope 11 are compared with other fusion reactions. This is leading to the conclusion that secondary avalanche reactions ...

Graphene, impermeable to all gases and liquids, can easily allow protons to pass through it researchers have found. Published in the journal Nature, the discovery could revolutionise fuel cells and ...

Smashing protons into boron nuclei produces greatly increased energies. You have full access to this article via your institution. Scientists have been working for decades to harness the power source ...

Work opens a path to precise calculations of the structure of other nuclei. In a study that combines experimental work and theoretical calculations made possible by supercomputers, scientists have ...

Graphene and atomically thin crystals of boron nitride conduct protons far better than predicted and could radically enhance the performance of hydrogen fuel cells, according to an international ...

Nuclear physicists at the Argonne National Laboratory in the US have obtained the first results from a new spectrometer that contains the magnet from a mothballed MRI machine. They used the Helical ...

Nathaniel Fisch, the director of the Princeton Program in Plasma Physics, and a team of researchers at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) received $1,499,953 in funding on Feb. 14 from the ...

In a study that combines groundbreaking experimental work and theoretical calculations, researchers have determined the nuclear geometry of two isotopes of boron. The result could help open a path to ...
