In September 2011 Malvern Panalytical launched the successor to its market-leading laser diffraction particle size analyzer. Two years on, the company has further extended its laser diffraction family ...

A discovery could have a major impact on advancing smaller, cheaper, laser-driven particle accelerators -- and their potential applications. A discovery by University of Strathclyde researchers could ...

In order to cut, grind and polish softer materials, an abrasive is typically used. It is either a natural or a synthetic mineral, which is applied liberally to shape or finish a workpiece to a ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons accelerated using ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons ...

Shimadzu diffraction gratings are used in analytical instruments for research in the life sciences, chemistry, environmental monitoring, as well as synchrotron radiation and optical communications ...

Control of the collective response of plasma particles to intense laser light is intrinsic to relativistic optics, the development of compact laser-driven particle and radiation sources, as well as ...

Figure 1: Schematic layout of the single-shot 3D structure determination using femtosecond XFEL pulses. Figure 2: Symmetry verification of the trisoctahedral gold nanocrystals using the self-common ...

The impossible task of traveling 25.6 trillion miles to Alpha Centauri, our closest star, is now possible. Using a Directed Energy System for Targeting of Asteroids and exploRation (DE-STAR), a ...
