University of Colorado scientists may not be breaking the laws of physics with their thermal energy work, but they are ...

Dark energy, this still mysterious force that accelerates the expansion of the Universe, may have reversed in the distant ...

So, the total model entropy increases over cosmic time because the Hubble radius grows steadily at the speed of light. Thus, ...

On October 19, 1900, Planck presented a new radiation law. In its derivation he set aside his reservations about the Boltzmann method and introduced “energy elements” of a specific size that we today ...

Alpha will be the first-ever fusion device demonstrating net energy production in a steady ... first company to spin out from the esteemed Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, one of the ...

Planck was as steeped in traditional physics as his colleagues, but he had an open mind. The older way wasn't working. So he changed one basic assumption: energy, instead of being continuous ...

That’s pretty much all you need for instruments to determine Planck’s constant to a decent ... LED from the somewhat grandly named “photon energy array” and provide a way to adjust and ...

Proxima Fusion’s Stellarator plant is being heralded as a milestone in what physicists have long touted as a holy grail for ...

Planck tried a mathematical trick. He presumed that the light wasn't really a continuous wave as everyone assumed, but perhaps could exist with only specific amounts, or "quanta," of energy.

(Image: Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, Germany) Fusion power exploits energy released from the ‘fusion’ of light atomic nuclei. When two such particles merge, the resulting nucleus is ...

The name itself actually precisely describes its field of research: the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research ... the solar magnetic field and the high-energy particles which our Sun ejects ...
