Small nanoparticles have surprisingly big effects on polymer nanocomposites March 8, 2017 Polymer nanocomposites mix particles billionths of a meter (nanometers, nm) in diameter with polymers, which are long molecular chains.
ORNL study examines tungsten in extreme environments to improve fusion materials March 7, 2017 A fusion reactor is essentially a magnetic bottle containing the same processes that occur in the sun. Deuterium and tritium fuels fuse to form a vapor of helium ions, neutrons and heat.
