One big dream of ultrafast science has been to watch changes in nanoparticles or biomolecules on their natural timescale.

A new method separates overlapping X-ray snapshots taken femtoseconds apart, opening a way to watch individual nanoparticles ...

Detecting radiation is key to technologies ranging from particle accelerators and scientific instruments to medical imaging ...

With the growing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI), demand increases for hardware that mimics the brain’s ability to ...

MIT uses laser pulses and ultrafast X-rays to map microscopic heat flow in multilayer semiconductors, exposing hidden defect ...

The Litesizer DIF series provides sophisticated particle sizing capabilities ranging from 10 nm to 3.5 mm, drawing on approaching 60 years of expertise in laser diffraction. Using laser diffraction ...

ABSTRACT: Particle morphology plays a key role in the physical, chemical, and processing properties of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients. This review examines how particle size, ...

Researchers at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have reported developing a new metal Additive Manufacturing approach that actively mixes molten metal during processing, ...

Combined analytical techniques are required to adequately cover the gravel-to-clay fractions when working with wide-range sediment particle size distributions (PSDs). Laser diffraction provides ...

Scientists at MIT discovered that chaotic laser light can spontaneously form a highly focused beam instead of scattering—if the conditions are just right. This “pencil beam” enabled them to image the ...

Laser treatment every few years and always being able to see clearly without glasses sounds like a dream. Researchers and industry partners are developing the method for turning this into reality.
