The dual core Atom processor certainly helps speed up the task, but the GPU-enabled software made a much bigger difference. In other words, if you have an NVIDIA ION powered system and a choice of ...

The breakdown of spin statistics in ion-atom charge exchange collisions has been directly demonstrated by a recent study that was published in Physical Review Letters on October 22nd, 2024 ...

Right, so apparently Intel is not putting and end to NVIDIA’s plans to bundle a GeForce 9400M GPU with the Intel Atom CPU and sell the chipset to netbook and laptop makers.

This is really more of what we'd expect out of some slightly deranged basement hacker, not a company like ECS at a major tradeshow, but we'll take any entrants in the burgeoning "nettop in a vase ...

Anywho, our first taste of Ion comes in the form of this natty little mini-ITX board-and-chip combo from Zotac. On paper, it's a fantastic package and comes complete with the flagship Atom 330 ...

It's been more than a year since NVIDIA announced its Ion platform, promising to bring HD video and gaming to the underpowered Atom CPU. After all the hold ups, we started to wonder if we'd ever ...

Zhangyong Song et al, Double and single K -shell-vacancy production of xenon atoms by 95–197-MeV/u Xe 54+ -ion collisions, Physical Review A (2025). DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.111.032807 ...

That's small. Really small. Each atom is roughly 0.25 nanometers (or billionths of a meter) across; billions of the atoms would fit comfortably inside a single red blood cell.

The atom is held nearly motionless by an electric field emanating from two metal electrodes placed on either side of it. The distance between the ion trap's small needle tips is less than .08 of ...
