Some believe the future of fusion in the U.S. lies in compact, spherical fusion vessels. A smaller tokamak, it is thought, could offer a more economical fusion option. The trick is squeezing everything into a small space. New research suggests eliminating one major component used to heat the plasma, freeing up much-needed space. Some believe the…
The first continent-wide mapping study of plant life across Antarctica reveals growth in previously uncharted areas and is set to inform conservation measures across the region. The research is published in the journal Nature Geoscience. The first continent-wide mapping study of plant life across Antarctica reveals growth in previously uncharted areas and is set to inform…

Climate change threatens natural ecosystems and socioeconomic systems, with carbon dioxide viewed as the main driving force. To promote ecological civilization construction and cope with global climate change, China first proposed the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals (“dual carbon” goals hereafter) in 2020 and addressed to integrate it into the overall plan of ecological…
Modern astronomy would struggle without AI and machine learning (ML), which have become indispensable tools. They alone have the capability to manage and work with the vast amounts of data that modern telescopes generate. ML can sift through large datasets, seeking specified patterns that would take humans far longer to find. Modern astronomy would struggle without…
