A new method uses helium droplets combined with ultrashort laser pulses to trigger chemical reactions in a controlled way.

Iran reacted immediately, saying it will establish a new enrichment facility “in a secure location” and that “other measures ... resolution,” the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the Atomic Energy ...

One example is the atomic clock, which uses the quantum properties of atoms to measure time much more accurately than would be possible with conventional clocks.
