Do Alpha Particle Condensates Exist in Oxygen Nuclei?
Yes. Such condensates, analogous to those in carbon-12, in heavier nuclei could change how we describe certain elements.

Scientists tame damaging edge instabilities in steady-state conditions required in a fusion reactor.
A novel experimental geometry at the Linac Coherent Light Source reveals, for the first time, how silicon responds to shocks similar to those in a planet’s core.
Spectroscopic measurements reveal that main ions flow much faster than impurities at the edge of fusion-relevant plasmas.
Surprisingly, a magnetic island does not necessarily perturb the plasma current in a dangerous way and destroy fusion performance.
Scientists discover why solar flares produce X-rays; a few electrons avoid collisions and accelerate to produce a microsecond burst.
Researchers modeled design concepts for innovative, opposed-piston engine on Titan supercomputer.

Scientists use implanted silicon ions and electricity to increase the spin time of quantum bits, moving closer to the tech needed for quantum networks.
Molybdenum-based complex harvests light to make inert nitrogen gas reactive to potentially become part of fertilizer.
Optimized oxides made from common metals use less energy and show the potential of new design approach.
