Measuring conditions in volatile clouds of superheated gases known as plasmas is central to pursuing greater scientific understanding of how stars, nuclear detonations and fusion energy work. For ...

Compton scattering, whereby high‐energy photons interact with nucleons, serves as a pivotal probe into the structure of matter. This process not only facilitates a direct investigation into the ...

Columnist Natalie Wolchover checks in with particle physicists more than a decade after the field entered a profound crisis.

An incident plane-wave laser is tuned by a diffractive optical part like grating or prism, and then being transformed into a tilted pulse laser. This tilted pulse is then focused by a sOAP mirror. A ...

Lev T. Perelman, Harvard University, will give a talk on “Multispectral Light Scattering Imaging for Precancer Detection and Cell Analysis” Abstract: Optical spectroscopy is a powerful tool for ...
