Unraveling The Processes That Power The Sun

The Borexino experiment announces the first detection of neutrinos from a secondary cycle that fuels our closest star. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion, a process through which hydrogen is converted into helium, emitting large amounts of energy. A … Continue reading

Electron Diffraction of CS2 Nanoclusters Embedded in Superfluid Helium Droplets

ABSTRACT We report experimental results from electron diffraction of CS2 nanoclusters embedded in superfluid helium droplets. From detailed measurements of the sizes of doped droplets, we can model the doping statistics under different experimental conditions, thereby obtaining the range of … Continue reading

H-mode Operation in Helium Plasma with Tungsten Divertor and Low Input Torque in EAST

To support the ITER early non-nuclear operational phase, recent Helium experiments have been investigated intensively in the superconducting tokamak EAST equipped with ITER-like Tungsten divertor, under the condition of low injected torque. This paper demonstrates experimental observations from these experiments. … Continue reading
