Through detailed calculations of proton interactions with lithium-6 nuclei, the model adeptly forecasts the release of diverse particles, such as neutrons, protons, deuterons, 3 He, and alpha.

So Jarrott and his Focused Energy colleague Jacob Peterson decided to set off on their own, founding Hexium with an eye ...

He’s a quantum physicist at Washington State University. He told me that protons – along with neutrons – form the nucleus in the middle of an atom. “Atoms make up all the stuff that we see ...

But at that time, there was no suitable proton accelerator or lithium target ... a whole range of particles including protons, deuterons, neutrons, photons, alpha particles, and positrons.

When the universe started cooling, the protons and neutrons began combining into ionized ... rapidly burning through hydrogen ...

The strong force holds together quarks, the fundamental particles that make up the protons and neutrons of the atomic nucleus, and further holds together protons and neutrons to form atomic nuclei.
