Researchers at Rice University and collaborating institutions have discovered direct evidence of active flat electronic bands ...

Nicknamed 'Punctum,' this puzzling phenomenon is highly energetic, but is only seen in millimeter-wavelength light and cannot ...

Kagome metals, known for their distinctive two-dimensional lattices formed by corner-sharing triangles, have drawn ...

The European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF) is a joint research facility supported by 19 countries (18 European countries and Israel) situated in Grenoble, France. It has an annual budget ...

A synchrotron produces light by using radio frequency waves and powerful electromagnets to accelerate electrons to nearly the speed of light. Energy is added to the electrons as they accelerate so ...

Since the first charged-particle synchrotrons were constructed in the 1940s, physicists have toyed with the idea of a neutral-particle synchrotron. In principle, “polar” molecules, which have a small ...

Single atom X-ray mechanism When X-rays illuminate an atom (red ball at the centre of the molecule), core level electrons are excited. X-ray-excited electrons then tunnel to the detector tip via ...

The plan is for a multi-million-pound synchrotron particle accelerator, known as Sesame. It has backing from several Arab nations, together with Turkey, Pakistan, Cyprus, Iran and - astonishingly ...

It was the first synchrotron in the southern hemisphere. The LNLS is about to be outstripped by a brand new, state-of-the-art Brazilian facility, Sirius, which began construction in December.

Synchrotron radiation is the ultimate spin-off: a phenomenon first observed as an exasperating loss of energy in circular particle accelerators turned out to be an instrument for observing the ...
