Since you're paying the same amount for vastly different amounts of energy, no one can accuse Coulomb of selling the energy. Instead, they're selling access to the energy. Clever, no? Read on past ...

Three main conditions are necessary for a controlled thermonuclear fusion: The temperature must be hot enough to allow the ions of deuterium and tritium to have enough kinetic energy to overcome the ...

As the Doppler cooling lowered the particles' temperatures to millikelvin levels, the ions arranged themselves into a pseudo-crystalline structure, the Coulomb crystal, held in place by the ...

The diagram shows both a unit cell with ion locations indicated (a) and a space filling model (b) of ionic hard spheres. The cohesive energy of NaCl is - 7.90 eV, with a Coulomb contribution of -8.85 ...
