Electron linear accelerators are being used throughout the world in increasing numbers in a variety of important applications. Foremost among these is their role in the treatment of cancer. Commercial ...

Reader [Xellers] sent in his newest instructable: DIY Electron Accelerator: A Cathode Ray Tube in a Wine Bottle. While not exactly what you might think of a cathode ray tube, the basics are in place.

His colleague Shayhan Chunkath, also a PhD candidate at the University of Auckland, has brought a peptide, a tiny protein ...

At the beginning of an experiment, a beam of electrons may have a rest energy of 1/2 million electron volts; it is directed through a linear "pre-accelerator" (or "injector") where the energy is ...

Electron beams are also used for sterilizing medical products and foods, and to disinfect sewage water. They are used widely in the automotive and aerospace industries, for machine construction, and ...

A new upgrade to the world’s most powerful X-ray free-electron laser has been given ... The X-ray laser is the Linac (short for linear accelerator) Coherent Light Source (LCLS) at the SLAC ...

In layman’s terms it was a “cancer zapper”; a linear accelerator ... a high power electron beam without the x-ray target in place. Attempting to activate the accelerator in an invalid ...

In a study published in Nature Communications, scientists created a blueprint for creating ultrabright and ultrashort pulses of electron beams for the next generation of particle accelerator research.

To accomplish this, the physicists behind the new study tweaked an electron gun until it produced a pulse of just one attosecond. These pulses hit the "sample" being studied, and as the electrons ...

1364 - First recorded use of a firearm. 1380 - Hand guns are known across Europe. 1400s - The matchlock gun appears. Before the matchlock, guns were fired by holding a burning wick to a "touch ...

Ion beam (IB) guns and electron beam (EB) guns are devices that emit charged particles (ions and electrons, respectively) directed in a beam which are used in surface analysis or preparation, particle ...
