When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...

From the powdered wings of a butterfly to the icy spines of a snowflake, symmetry is a common feature in nature. This often ...

E-beam inspection’s notorious sensitivity-throughput tradeoff has made comprehensive defect coverage with e-beam at these advanced nodes especially problematic. For Intel’s 18A logic node (~1.8nm ...

Spectroscopic data on alkali-atom dimers residing on the surface of liquid helium nanodroplets have revealed that they are detected primarily in the weakly bound, metastable, spin-triplet state. Here, ...

Curved neutron beams could deliver benefits straight to industry Date: April 17, 2025 Source: National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Summary: Scientists have created the first ...

However, current prototype systems still face challenges, particularly in producing high-quality electron beams with the consistency and precision needed for real-world use. Researchers at DESY’s LUX ...

In their latest study, scientists propose a new method to enhance the quality of electron beams produced by laser-plasma accelerators. “Using a clever correction system, a research team was ...
