Tokamak Energy has achieved a plasma temperature of 100m degrees Celcius, the threshold for commercial fusion energy.

I believe the world is changing in big ways that haven’t happened before in our lifetimes but have many times in history, so I knew I needed to study past changes to understand what is happening now and help me to anticipate what is likely to happen.

A simple algorithm that revolutionizes how neural networks approach language is now taking on image classification as well. It may not stop there.

In mathematics, physics, and engineering, spatial frequency is a characteristic of any structure that is periodic across position in space. The spatial frequency is a measure of how often sinusoidal components (as determined by the Fourier transform) of the…

The device could help hunt dark matter or search for gravitational waves, scientists say.
