New technique enhances precision in measuring short-lived atomic nuclei
Researchers at the Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL-CSR) have introduced a technique, Tune-IMS, designed to improve the precision of isochronous mass spectrometry (IMS) in measuring short-lived atomic nuclei. The development offers refin.....»»
Longer wildfire seasons means more bad air days
Each year in Utah and most other western states in America, the period from July through October is considered wildfire season because it typically represents the peak times atmospherically for such hazardous phenomenon. Besides the danger to propert.....»»
Are tariffs good or bad for the economy? Research says they can be bad for the supply chain
America, it seems, can't quit tariffs. Like corduroy and round glasses, these short-term taxes sometimes fall out of fashion. But before you know it, they're back in style—a quick fix deployed whenever foreign competitors seize a competitive advant.....»»
Leap Seconds May Be Abandoned by the World’s Timekeepers
