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

Laser-assisted particle interactions and scattering represent a rapidly emerging field in high-energy and quantum physics, where the interplay between intense electromagnetic fields and particle ...

DLS is a non-invasive method used to measure the average size and size distribution broadness of submicron particles in a suspension/dispersed in a liquid. DLS is suitable for particle size analysis ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Light scattering has long stood as a cornerstone technique in the characterization of particles across a wide range of scientific disciplines. From pharmaceuticals to food production, and from ...

(Nanowerk News) Humanity stands on the verge of two major revolutions: the boom in 2-dimensional materials like graphene with incredible properties and the introduction of quantum computers with ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Small angle X-ray scattering, or SAXS, is an experimental method where the intensity of the scattered X-rays is measured as a function of the scattering angle. The information obtained in a SAXS ...
