Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...
Physicists are learning to carve laser beams into intricate shapes that can grab hold of electrons and push them with a ...
Scientists have directly demonstrated for the first time how laser beams modify the conditions of a plasma, addressing one of the challenges in the longstanding quest to achieve fusion. New research ...
Why fast-response, non-contact temperature sensing is needed in biomedical research. How thin, transparent film is used to create the Seebeck effect to measure temperature. The instrumentation ...
At any given moment, trillions of particles called neutrinos are streaming through our bodies and every material in our surroundings, without noticeable effect. Smaller than electrons and lighter than ...
Researchers have encoded a picture of a cat into a single laser beam, demonstrating a simple system that can create detailed images within a beam of light. This technique could be used to more ...
