A renovated, second-generation fusion reactor in England has achieved first plasma. This reactor and other fusion reactors have long-shot plans to produce energy as early as 2040. The new reactor ...

Researchers at Harvard University have demonstrated that gas bubbles can exist in stable non-spherical shapes without the application of external force. The micron- to millimeter scale peapod-, ...

Earth's spherical shape is supported by centuries of scientific observation and evidence. A flat Earth model contradicts established physics and cannot explain observed phenomena. Lunar eclipses and ...

In our mind’s eye, the universe seems to go on forever. But using geometry we can explore a variety of three-dimensional shapes that offer alternatives to “ordinary” infinite space. When you gaze out ...

How far microplastics travel in the atmosphere depends crucially on particle shape, according to a recent study by scientists at the University of Vienna and the Max Planck Institute for Dynamics and ...

Bubbles are always round due to nature's tendency to minimize surface area, with a sphere offering the least for a given ...
