On the failure to find the American spirit in our scientific adventure

The massive doughnut-shaped device, which has been dubbed 'Korea's artificial sun' ran at 100 million°C (180 million°F) for 48 seconds.

Hot on the heels of proving an 87-year-old prediction that matter can be generated directly from light, Rice University physicists and their colleagues have detailed how that process may impact future studies of primordial plasma and physics beyond the Standard Model.

The findings may lead to the creation of the most precise clock ever, facilitating advancements in deep space navigation and communication. Using a laser to raise the energy state of an atom's nucleus, known as excitation, can lead to the development of the most precise atomic clocks. This process
