Despite its potential, electron beam propulsion faces significant challenges. Generating and maintaining a high-energy beam over interstellar distances requires unprecedented precision and stability.
An exotic new approach could shrink kilometer-scale machines into table-top devices.
An extraordinary event consistent with a neutrino with an estimated energy of about 220 PeV (220 x 1015 electron volts or 220 ...
Enter relativistic electron beams made up of electrons ... 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 ...
Researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory have discovered a highly sensitive sensor ...
Researchers at Argonne have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate ...
FLASH radiation therapy could one day cure complex tumors and cancers while limiting the toll of radiation on the body. France's Institut Curie hopes to install one of the special machines in its ...
The team made SNSPDs with different wire sizes and tested them with a beam of 120 GeV protons at Fermilab, which was the nearest facility equipped to carry out this experiment. These high-energy ...
