Researchers at Argonne have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate ...

This involves measuring the incredibly subtle movements of the sail as it's struck by the laser beam. These experiments are an important first step to moving lightsail development from theory and ...

which leads to the deceleration and divergence of argon ion beam. This provides support for further understanding of ion extraction characteristics and influencing factors.

"Energy is power [multiplied by] time — so to get a given amount of energy from a beam, you either need very high power or you need to stay in the beam a long time." One such solution that was ...

These include optimal assist gas flow, clean optics, a centered beam, and the base focus. In laser cutting, the beam and the assist gas are two sides of the same coin. Often, Andujo said, the issue ...
