A FEL creates X-rays by the rapid back-and-forth acceleration of fast-moving electron pulses using a series of magnets called an undulator. These X-rays are emitted at a narrow wavelength and then ...

After you’ve done that self-assessment and understand what you need, I advise you do “informational interviews”, which ...

At Qruise, McGhee has a range of responsibilities that include writing documentation, marketing, website design, and attending conference exhibitions. She explains how her background in physics ...

An experiment that scattered high-energy electrons from helium-3 and tritium nuclei has provided the first evidence for three-nucleon short-range correlations. The data were taken in 2018 at Jefferson ...

Scientific meetings and conferences are all about mixing with other people, but networking isn’t easy. Honor Powrie gives her tips if you’re either attending or organizing such events It's good to ...

The piston in this quantum engine is the strength of inter-atomic interactions in the gas. To move the piston, Nautiyal’s scheme calls for abruptly increasing this interaction strength during the ...

Researchers uncover how vortex-like defects in liquid crystals mimic superconducting behaviour, forming structured Abrikosov clusters ...

By linking quantum expressibility to neural tangent kernel behaviour, this work offers a new framework for understanding and improving learning dynamics in quantum machine learning ...

New observations are the first direct evidence of planets influencing their stars rather than just passively orbiting them ...

Many of us will have careers with three distinct eras: education, work and retirement. While the first two tend to be ...
