In nuclear fusion, pairs of tiny particles called atoms are heated and forced together to make one heavier one. It is the opposite of nuclear fission, in which heavy atoms are split apart.

Some accelerators — the largest ones — are used to make sub-nuclear particles collide to advance our knowledge of the universe. Some of these accelerators are also used to produce neutrons. Ion ...

From long exposure to freeze-frame snapshots For decades, scientists used low-energy experiments to infer nuclear shapes -- for example, by exciting the nuclei and observing photons, or particles ...
