Physicist Resolves Fusion Reactor Issue Featured in ‘The Big Bang Theory’
A physicist from the University of Cincinnati has theoretically solved a problem related to producing axions, hypothetical particles linked to dark matter, in fusion reactors—an issue that was humorously depicted as unsolvable by Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hofstadter in 'The Big Bang Theory.' The research, conducted with international collaborators, explores how neutrons in fusion reactors could generate axions, potentially advancing our understanding of dark matter, and adds a real-world scientific breakthrough to a concept previously only discussed in the sitcom.
