    About this ebook

    Volume 2 of this series concentrates on the use of synchrotron radiation which covers that region of the electromagnetic spectrum which extends from about 10eV to 3keV in photon energy and is essentially the region where the radiation is strongly absorbed by atmospheric gases. It therefore has to make extensive use of a high vacuum to transport the radiation to the workstation where the presence of hard X-rays can cause extensive damage to both the optics and the targets used in the experimental rigs. The topics chosen for this volume have been limited to the disciplines of physics and chemistry.

      Semiconductors for Moving Holograms Twist Like Fusilli

      Apr 11, 2017

      Scientists have discovered a way to mass-produce spiral semiconductors necessary for smartphone displays with moving, holographic 3D images. Researchers at the University of Michigan unveiled some of the first holographic images in 1962, which they m

      Do We Have the Big Bang Theory All Wrong?: One physicist’s radical reinterpretation of the cosmic microwave background.

      Jul 31, 2014

      All that Hans-Jörg Fahr wants is for someone to prove him wrong. A professor of astrophysics at the University of Bonn in Germany, he has taken a stand against nearly the entire field of cosmology by claiming that the diffuse glow of background micro

      Atomic ‘Hula’ Turns Rare-earth Crystal Into Magnet

      Nov 16, 2023

      A study finds that when the atomic lattice in a rare-earth crystal becomes animated with a corkscrew-shaped vibration known as a chiral phonon, the crystal is transformed into a magnet. Quantum materials hold the key to a future of lightning-speed, e

      Clear Evidence Points to Majorana Fermions

      Jul 31, 2017

      After an 80-year quest, researchers have discovered evidence of particles that are their own antiparticles. These “Majorana fermions” could one day help make quantum computers more robust. In 1928, physicist Paul Dirac made the stunning prediction th
