The advent of high-intensity-pulsed laser technology enables the generation of extreme states of matter under conditions that are far from thermal equilibrium. This in turn could enable different ...

Ion beam analysis (IBA) and nuclear reaction studies constitute a pivotal suite of techniques for non-destructive material characterisation. By utilising energetic ions, these methods probe material ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Beam diagrams are used as a fundamental way to teach engineers the basic of static loading. Beams are structural ...

An acoustic “tractor beam” that can pull an object by firing sound waves at it has been created by physicists in the UK and US. The beam was made using a commercial ultrasound surgery system and ...
