Researchers were unsure whether alpha particles would aid or hinder fusion. Simulations suggest they help, by dampening ...
Atomic clocks leveraged the atom to keep time, but new innovations will use the nucleus itself.
When a high-intensity laser interacts with plasma, the charged particles typically oscillate back and forth like waves on the ...
Two independent teams of scientists have created the first functional clocks that can keep ultraprecise time using the nuclei ...
