New Radiocarbon Dating Refinements Call For Adjusting Dates Of Historical Artifacts

    Radiocarbon dating was invented in the late 1940s. It has been continuously improved to provide more accurate measurements. It is the standard techniques for identifying the dates of artifacts in archeology and other scientific disciplines.

Nuclear Fusion 70 - Permanent Magnets May Be A Gamechanger For Stellarator Fusion Reactors

    I have been writing about nuclear fusion lately. A great deal of current research is being conducted with tokamaks which are donut shaped cavities surrounded by superconducting electromagnets to heat, compress, and confine a hydrogen plasma. A stellarator was an early design concept in which the cavity was twisted from the tokamak donut configuration to more of a figure eight.

Nuclear Fusion 69 - Breakthrough In Hydrogen Injection For Fusion Reactors - Part 2 of 2 Parts

Part 2 of 2 Parts (Please read Part 1 first)
    The phys.org article says, “The experiments revealed a significantly higher pressure of plasma—a key to fusion reactions—using hydrogen ice compared to gas injection when the rate of fueling is roughly evenly matched between the two methods.”
