PASADENA, California – Researchers at the Bellan Plasma Group at Caltech are using a giant vacuum chamber to simulate the jets of plasma found on the surface of the sun. Plasma, or ionized gas, is all ...

Remote plasma cleaning is a proven method used by several electron microscopists to get the most ideal images from their instruments by removing hydrocarbon (HC) contamination 1. The oxygen radicals ...

Researchers from the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory and the University of California, Los ...

Vacuum-based processes display lower performance in the presence of adventitious hydrocarbons that are volatilized from various sources, such as solvents and oils, as well as chamber and sample ...

The first vacuum vessel sector sub-assembly tool for the Iter fusion reactor has passed factory acceptance tests in South Korea. The tool is by far the largest custom-designed tool for the reactor, ...

Researchers from Caltech have created a stable ring of plasma with just a crystal plate and a stream of water. They can maintain this ring for as long as they want with no magnetic fields, or vacuum ...

Zap Energy has advanced its Century fusion engineering test platform to operate for more than one hundred plasma shots at 0.2 Hz, or one shot every five seconds, with the resulting heat captured by ...

Compact electron probes with large beam currents are required to achieve such precision. Routine production at the nanoscale requires immaculate and regulated surfaces to get the appropriate ...
