Nuclear Fusion 191- Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory Exploring Improved Efficiency In Tokamaks

     Scientists have discovered the remarkable impact of reversing a standard method for combatting a key obstacle to create sustained nuclear fusion on Earth. Theorists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DoE) Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) have put forth a proposal to do exactly the opposite of the prescribed procedure to sharply improve future results.

Nuclear Weapons 792 - Debate Over Plan To Expand Plutonium Core Manufacture At Los Alamos National Laboratory

     The U.S. government is planning to review the environmental effects of operation at one of the nation’s prominent nuclear weapons laboratories. However, its notice issued Friday leaves out federal goals to increase production of plutonium cores used in the nation’s nuclear arsenal.

Researchers Find Mutations In The DNA Of Astronauts - Part 1 of 2 Parts

Part 1 of 2 Parts
     Recent research has shown that astronauts are at a higher risk for developing mutation that can increase the risk of developing cancer and heart disease in their lifetimes. This mutation risk may be related to spaceflight. This is a first of its kind study from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai revealed the problem.

China Denies NASA Claim That They Intend To Claim Ownership Of The Moon

     Last Monday, China denounced NASA's claims it is planning to take over the moon as part of its military space program. The allegations came from NASA Administrator Bill Nelson. He stated Saturday that the US is now involved in a space race with China. He told a German newspaper, “We must be very concerned that China is landing on the moon and saying: 'It's ours now and you stay out'.

Mitsubishi Develops 3-D Printing Of Satellite Antennas In Orbit

     Most of the satellites that are launched into space have antennas for communications. Elaborate folding antennas are necessary in order to fit them inside the payload of the launch vehicle. Once the satellite reaches its preferred orbit, the antenna must be unfolded and spread out in order to function. Problems with deploying the antenna can be fatal to a satellite.
