China’s “artificial sun” has set a new world record by heating plasma to temperatures five times that of the sun and maintaining it for more than 17 minutes. According to the Xinhua news agency, the EAST (Experimental Superconducting Tokamak) fusion reactor maintained a temperature of 70 million degrees for 1,056 seconds. This achievement is another …

There would be no oxygen on Earth if it were not illuminated by sunlight, a key element of photosynthesis. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria mainly produce oxygen. Now, researchers have made a startling discovery: deep below the surface of the ocean, oxygen can be produced without sunlight. Scientists have discovered that ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA), the species …
