Bombarding

Sorry for bombarding you with so many questions.

Scientists from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory report they were able to create a type of fusion reaction by bombarding a microscopic pellet of fuel with beams from 192 powerful lasers to compress its component parts — hydrogen isotopes known as deuterium and tritium — and fuse them together at the atomic level.

The army responded in kind, bombarding every single rebel stronghold.

Ziri sat next to Rima and started bombarding her with questions.

This element, considered to be radioactive and classified as a metal, is artificially produced by bombarding atoms of americium-243—an isotope of the element Americium (Am)—with ions of a rare isotope calcium-48 using a device called a cyclotron.

Astatine was first made at Berkeley by bombarding bismuth with alpha particles, which produced astatine and released two neutrons.

Physicists call these doomsday scenarios ridiculous. They say cosmic rays have been bombarding the earth and triggering collisions similar to those planned for the collider, since the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago.
