1+ week, 1+ day ago  (384+ words) The work "Enhanced confinement in diverted negative-triangularity L-mode plasmas in TCV" is based on simulations and experiments on the TCV tokamak based at the EPFL. Fusion is usually performed via two types of plasma confinement. Magnetic involves using magnetic fields…...

1+ week, 1+ day ago  (301+ words) When air and water meet, the interface between them strongly influences the behaviour of the first four layers of water. This interfacial water, as it is known, is only 7-8 angstroms thick, and the water below it behaves like a bulk…...

1+ week, 4+ day ago  (388+ words) Animals ranging from sharks to bats appear to use Earth's magnetic field to navigate during long migratory voyages. However, the nature of this magnetoreception is poorly understood. "How they sense Earth's magnetic field has been a mystery," Lisowski explains. "Several…...
