US scientists shatter high-power uranium beam record, unlock new isotopes.

They delivered a record 10.4 kilowatts of continuous beam power to a target.

Uranium is the heaviest naturally occurring element and is difficult to accelerate.

When a uranium beam hits a target, it fragments or undergoes fission, producing a range of rare, unstable isotopes with different numbers of neutrons.
