New method cuts errors by 80%, helps predict fusion machine's changes
10+ hour, 14+ min ago (901+ words) The new machine-learning system can predict how the machine’s hardware will behave during its next experiment. Inside a fusion machine, the plasma can reach temperatures hotter than the Sun’s core while powerful magnetic fields squeeze it into a tiny, unstable…...
America Is Losing a Submarine Every Few Months — and Not to an Enemy
12+ hour, 13+ min ago (220+ words) Interesting Engineering America Is Losing a Submarine Every Few Months — and Not to an Enemy America’s submarine fleet is shrinking as aging Los Angeles-class boats retire faster than Virginia-class replacements arrive, creating a growing gap between the Navy’s needs and…...
Proton collisions hint that gluons, not quarks, carry baryon number
13+ hour, 17+ min ago (837+ words) A proton looks so simple, made of three quarks held together by gluons. However, this appearance could be a deception. New measurements suggest that one of its most fundamental properties may not belong to those three quarks at all. The…...

China's 22% efficient perovskite solar panels top silicon outdoors
13+ hour, 30+ min ago (457+ words) Perovskite compounds absorb sunlight and generate electric current like silicon, but cost far less. A team of Chinese researchers and factory engineers has shown that full-sized perovskite solar panels can survive real-world weather while beating the output of conventional silicon....
Robot sensor from China lets machines identify objects without touch
13+ hour, 41+ min ago (507+ words) Inspired by how electric eels navigate and hunt, the new sensor could give robots contactless touch abilities. Chinese researchers have developed a new robot sensor that can “feel” objects without physical contact, inspired by electric eels. Similar to the eel,…...
