Beijing team finds that potential electrical discharges, though brief, could induce abnormal currents in spacecraft systems.

Scientists have successfully developed a pocket-sized particle accelerator capable of projecting ultra-short electron beams with laser light at more than 99.99% of the speed of light. To achieve this ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

Physicists have built a tractor beam out of lasers that can both repel and attract objects across distances 100 times farther than previously possible. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she ...

The USA has only two accelerators that can produce 10 billion electron-volt particle beams, and they're each about 1.9 miles (3 km) long. "We can now reach those energies in 10 cm (4 inches)," said ...

The Wakefield Acceleration and Radiation Generation (WARG) research group is led by Prof. Mike Litos of the CU Physics Department and the Center for Integrated Plasma Studies (CIPS). Our primary area ...

What is Particle Size Analysis? Particle size analysis is a technique for determining the particle size distribution in a material. Solid materials, emulsions, suspensions, and even aerosols may all ...
