Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles. To ...

A string of recent experiments has moved desktop-scale particle accelerators from theoretical curiosity to working prototypes, with multiple research teams demonstrating that laser-driven devices ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet. Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s ...

DLS is a non-invasive method used to measure the average size and size distribution broadness of submicron particles in a suspension/dispersed in a liquid. DLS is suitable for particle size analysis ...

New measurements have resolved the proton radius puzzle, confirming a smaller subatomic value of 0.8406 femtometers.

Small angle X-ray scattering, or SAXS, is an experimental method where the intensity of the scattered X-rays is measured as a function of the scattering angle. The information obtained in a SAXS ...
