Obtaining a burning plasma is a critical step towards self-sustaining fusion energy 1. A burning
plasma is one in which the fusion reactions themselves are the primary source of heating …

Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of unrelated individuals capture
effects of inherited variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification, assortative …

We report genome-wide ancient DNA from 44 ancient Near Easterners ranging in time between~
12,000 and 1,400 bc, from Natufian hunter–gatherers to Bronze Age farmers. We show …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is responsible for a public health burden with multi-systemic
complications. Through trans-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of …

Pulmonary function measures reflect respiratory health and are used in the diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. We tested genome-wide association with forced …

In a burning plasma state 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 – 7 , alpha particles from deuterium–tritium fusion
reactions redeposit their energy and are the dominant source of heating. This state has …

GS:SFHS is a family-based genetic epidemiology study with DNA and socio-demographic
and clinical data from about 24 000 volunteers across Scotland aged 18–98 years, from …

An inertial fusion implosion on the National Ignition Facility, conducted on August 8, 2021 (N210808),
recently produced more than a megajoule of fusion yield and passed Lawson's …

Reduced lung function predicts mortality and is key to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD). In a genome-wide association study in 400,102 individuals of …

Aim To explore the impact of parent‐to‐parent support when a child is born with a disability.
Design The research approach was qualitative. Data were collected retrospectively and …
