Scientists accidentally find deep-sea 'jelly' creatures merged into 'single entity' after injury, revealing bizarre new behavior
Researchers discovered that some comb jellies can fuse their bodies together when injured. The unique adaptation, which involves merging their nervous systems and stomachs, has never been seen in any other species.
AI models could devour all of the internet’s written knowledge by 2026
A new estimate suggests that AI could use up all of the internet’s text data within the next few years. The next recourse could be private information, a new study warns.
2nd nuclear fusion breakthrough brings us a (tiny) step closer to limitless clean energy
The breakthrough marks the second time that the core of a fusion reactor has given out more energy than it has taken in, but significant challenges remain.
Fusion power key to Earth's survival, says Bill Nye in exclusive interview
Bill Nye the Science Guy talks about what he would get our planet for Earth Day and "evidence-based optimism" in light of his latest show, "The End is Nye."
8 times physics blew our minds in 2022
Nuclear fusion, lab-simulated wormholes, and ramming distant asteroids, here are the biggest and best physics stories of the year.
What is nuclear fusion?
Nuclear fusion is the merging of two light atomic nuclei into one heavier one. If it can be harnessed on Earth, it could generate clean, limitless energy.
Nuclear fusion reactor core produces more energy than it consumes in world-first demonstration
The breakthrough marks the first time that the core of a fusion reactor has given out more energy than it has taken in, but significant obstacles still need to be overcome.
Physicists just rewrote a foundational rule for nuclear fusion reactors that could unleash twice the power
Future fusion reactions inside tokamaks could shine even brighter than before, thanks to groundbreaking new research to find the maximum density of the hydrogen plasma fuel that powers them.
