Is there a site for this that isn’t shitty?

Horrible title. Let's try the subtitle:

"For the first time, physicists have directly measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser—a breakthrough with major implications for engineering spacecraft or nuclear fusion reactors."

and cut the unnecessary parts...

"Physicists have measured the temperature of extremely hot gold particles using a giant X-ray laser."
