A quartz-lined waveguide kept terahertz light synchronized with relativistic electrons, pointing toward much smaller ...

Scott Jenkins Particle size is a key parameter in many solids-handling processes, and can have a strong influence on product ...

Germany's national metrology institute has built a calibration facility that anchors vehicle emission particle counters to ...

Imagine a car that accelerates from zero to sixty in 250 feet, and then rockets to 120 miles per hour in just one more inch. That's essentially what a collaboration of accelerator physicists has ...

PITTSBURGH—Charged particle accelerators have been a central tool of basic physics research for almost a hundred years, perhaps most famously as “atom smashers” for understanding the elementary ...

Microplastics research first gained attention through studies of marine pollution, but the analytical scope has broadened ...

Optical fibre sensors make use of diverse physical effects to measure parameters such as strain, temperature and electric field. Here we introduce a new class of reconfigurable fibre sensor, based on ...

No one has ever probed a particle more stringently than this. In a new experiment, scientists measured a magnetic property of the electron more carefully than ever before, making the most precise ...
