Medieval Alchemy Goes Nuclear: LHC Creates Gold from Lead

Like the teeth of a comb, a microcomb consists of a spectrum of evenly distributed light frequencies. Optical atomic clocks can be built by locking a microcomb tooth to a ultranarrow-linewidth laser, which in turn locks to an atomic transition with extremely high frequency stability. That way, frequency combs act like a bridge between the atomic transition at an optical frequency and the clock signal at a radio frequency that is electronically detectable for counting the oscillations – enabling extraordinary precision. The researchers’ photonic chip, on the righthand side of the image, contains 40 microcombs generators and is only five millimeters wide.

Harbor porpoises need to eat 2000 fish a day to meet their energy needs. Not because it's demanding to swim, dive and hunt as they are streamlined and very energy efficient. They simply need vast amounts of energy to keep warm in the cold water.
