Supercomputer Study Finds 97,000 Stable Orbits Between Earth and Moon
Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory simulated one million potential satellite orbits between Earth and the Moon to assess long-term stability. Fewer than 10% remained stable over six years, highlighting the challenges of operating in cislunar space. Yet the results identified roughly 97,000 viable orbits, offering valuable options ...

California Team Achieved First Self-Sustaining Fusion Reaction, Fail to Replicate It
Last year in August, a group of scientists at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California conducted a landmark experiment that yielded more than 1.3 megajoules of energy. It was confirmed to be a nuclear fusion reaction that was energetic enough to sustain itself. However, since that day, the team has been busy conducting a series of e...

Volcanic Eruptions Partly Behind 'Warming Hiatus': Study
The "warming hiatus" that has occurred over the last 15 years has been caused in part by small volcanic eruptions, according to a new study.

Conditions Deep Inside Giant Planets Recreated in Laboratory
In what could lead to better understanding of how giant planets form, researchers have experimentally recreated the conditions that exist deep inside giant planets, such as Jupiter, Uranus and many other planets recently discovered outside the solar system.
