Fusion Reactors Could Generate Axions, Offering a New Path to Detect Dark Matter
Fusion energy may have an unexpected cosmic role beyond clean power. A new study suggests fusion reactors could produce axions, hypothetical dark matter particles, when high-energy neutrons from fusion reactions strike reactor walls. These interactions may generate axions that escape shielding undetected. Scientists propose future fusion plants cou...

Russia Launches Bion-M No.2 with Mice, Flies, and Seeds to Study Space Biology
Russia’s latest resupply mission to low-Earth orbit has delivered a unique scientific cargo: 75 mice, 1,000 fruit flies, microbes, cell cultures, and plant seeds aboard the Bion-M No.2 biosatellite. Over the next month, these organisms will orbit Earth, helping scientists study how microgravity and cosmic radiation affect life. Some mice are gene...
