(Xinhua/Zhou Mu) China has achieved a major breakthrough in its quest to master next-generation “artificial sun” technology, marking a decisive step toward realizing clean and virtually limitless fusion energy. On Monday, experts announced that one of the

Scientists at MIT just overturned a decades-old assumption about metal manufacturing: atoms in alloys never become completely random, no matter how intensely they're processed. Using machine learning to track millions of atoms, researchers discovered persistent chemical patterns that affect everything from strength to radiation tolerance. This unexpected finding reveals new physics in metals and could transform how engineers design materials for aerospace, nuclear, and semico
