The technique of muon spin rotation has become a major tool for the investigation of structure of all kinds of condensed matter and has even developed its own research communities. A recent major c...
In the years immediately after the Second World War, several countries that were pushing to develop more powerful particle accelerators created an exclusive club. A recent symposium in Uppsala look...
Making invisible physics visible has always called for ingenuity. The techniques can also lead to important applications in other areas. Two meetings in Seattle offered an update on developments. P...
Superconducting tunnel junctions have been developed as photon-counting spectroscopic detectors for ground- and space based astrophysical research. Arrays of tantalum-based junctions have now reache...
In a recent experiment, Thomson-scattered X-rays from Jefferson Lab's infrared free-electron laser were detected, confirmed and initially characterized.
High-energy physicists are proud that their instrumentation, which was developed for their research, has widespread applications in other fields.
Radioactive ion beams provide access to a variety of research, from basic nuclear physics to the life sciences. Thomas Nilsson looks at the varied radioactive ion beam research programme of CERN's vet...
Fred Asner traces the discovery and understanding of superconductivity.
On 15 July in Newport News, Virginia, Jefferson Lab's free-electron laser produced infrared light at a wavelength of 3.1µm and 1.72 kW average power, thereby exceeding the kilowatt design goal.
