Physicists have created a new computer code that could speed up the design of the complicated magnets that shape the plasma in stellarators, making the systems simpler and more affordable to build.

Like engineers who design high-performance Formula One race cars, scientists want to create high-performance plasmas in twisty fusion systems known as stellarators. Achieving this performance means ...

Biological materials are made of individual components, including tiny motors that convert fuel into motion. This creates patterns of movement, and the material shapes itself with coherent flows by ...

Microsoft Founder Bill Gates Reflects Upon a 50-Year-Old Computer Code That Reshaped Technology Even as he grows older, Microsoft founder Bill Gates still fondly remembers the catalytic computer code ...
