Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

Powder and particle technology encompasses the production, characterisation and manipulation of discrete solid particles for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Central themes ...

Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

Using a precisely aligned pair of laser beams, scientists can now hold a single aerosol particle in place and monitor how it charges up. The particle’s glow signals each step in its changing ...

SpaceX is taking significant steps toward improving the durability and reliability of its spacecraft and satellites by building its own particle accelerator in Florida. This new development was ...

Gas atomization encompasses a family of processes in which a stream of molten metal is disintegrated into fine droplets by a high-velocity inert gas, typically nitrogen or argon. The methodology ...
