A computer is suspended from the ceiling. Delicate lines and loops of silvery wires and tubes connect gold-colored platforms. It seems to belong in a…
Berkeley Lab research efforts in advanced materials and cost analyses give major boost to an overlooked technology. Could a tank of ice or hot water…
What Are Neutron Stars? A giant star faces several possible fates when it dies in a supernova. That star can either be completely destroyed, become…
What Are Supernovae? A supernova is the colossal explosion of a star. Scientists have identified several types of supernova. One type, called a “core-collapse” supernova,…
What Are High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas? High energy density (HED) laboratory plasmas are perhaps the most extreme states of matter ever produced on Earth….
Technique Tunes Into Graphene Nanoribbons’ Electronic Potential Ever since graphene – a thin carbon sheet just one-atom thick – was discovered more than 15 years…
What Is Machine Learning? Machine learning is the process of using computers to detect patterns in massive datasets and then make predictions based on what…
What Is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) simply means intelligence in machines, in contrast to natural intelligence found in humans and other natural organisms. Artificial…
Nuclear physicists used supercomputers to model the extreme state left behind after two ultra-dense neutron stars merged and formed a black hole. Their models showed…
