A large hill juts out in front of an emerald tapestry of the Northern Lights. Below, a waterfall drops into a dark pool.
Researchers at the University of Maryland are trying to get to the bottom of our farts.
Scientists are increasingly using our solar system as a natural laboratory for studying extreme phenomena.
For the sake of science and exploration, astronauts give up basic comforts—including clean laundry. This "laundry gun" might help.
The findings potentially resolve a long-standing issue with methanol conversion, which has tended to be clunky, inefficient, and environmentally detrimental.
“Our understanding of instabilities—when they grow, how they grow—is important to making fusion work.”
For plasma in fusion reactors, turbulence might be more than a pesky thing to control, a new study suggests.
