a consequence of the nuclei in the former pair have a smaller force of repulsion. Any atom of element 119 or 120 will likely last only a few milliseconds before emitting bundles of protons and ...

Nuclear fusion is the principle by which the sun emits light and heat, involving the combination of lighter atomic nuclei into heavier ones, releasing a tremendous amount of energy in the process.

The Chinese state news agency Xinhua described the accomplishment as "a key step towards the development of a fusion reactor." ...

A nuclear fusion reactor would merge atomic nuclei, generating massive amounts of energy in the process that can be turned into electricity. China’s reactor, officially known as the Experimental ...

This process, used in nuclear physics to synthesize artificial superheavy nuclei, seems at first glance as simple as it is brutal: take a heavy nucleus (here plutonium-244) and bombard it with lighter ...

This has shaved off some fat and the Galaxy S25 Ultra is both thinner (8.2mm vs 8.6mm) and lighter (218g vs 233g) than the Galaxy S24 Ultra. The phone still incorporates titanium in its frame (and ...
