BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a physics first, a team including scientists from the University at Buffalo and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons ...

There are many applications for particle accelerators, even outside research facilities, but for the longest time they have been large, cumbersome machines, not to mention very expensive to operate.

(Nanowerk News) A new class of curved plasmon beams named as a photonic hook plasmon was obtained by researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University and the Institute of Ultra High-Frequency ...

Researchers have developed a deployable system that is light, compact, inexpensive, easy to manufacture, and, most importantly, easy to deploy. By harnessing the mechanical instabilities in curved ...

Understanding how helical, curved beams operate — how their spiral cuts accommodate angular and parallel misalignment, axial motion, and system vibrations — is the key to knowing how they will perform ...

Back in April 2015, my CW column focused on the two ASTM standardized test methods used for measuring the through-the-thickness, or interlaminar, tensile strength of composite laminates. Despite their ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams (named for ...
