Molecule generation Our experiment is performed on a mixed-species two-ion crystal consisting of 40Ca+ and 40CaOH+ confined in a linear Paul trap28. To form such a crystal, we first load two 40Ca+ ions and then leak in water vapour with a leak valve from a gas chamber that contains mainly water vapour with a pressure

Over the past decade or so, the once- sleepy nuclear sector has become a hive of activity. Venture capital drove innovative reactor designs promising lower risk. The need for low-carbon energy eroded environmental opposition. Electrification and artificial intelligence boosted energy demand, and the geopolitical weaponization of energy put a premium on domestic generation. As a

Grafts of muscle cells lead to cognitive and physical improvements in mice.Credit: Ziad M. El-Zaatari/Science Photo Library Researchers have created contracting muscle implants that can mimic some of the benefits of exercise, including improving muscle mass, strength and bone density while also slowing age-related muscle changes1. The research, published in Nature Aging on 26 August,
