RECENT work, for example, that by Curran et al. 1, has shown how the proportional counter can be made a reliable tool for measuring the energies of soft radiations. Used as a detector for measuring ...

X-rays, a type of electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths from 0.01 to 10 nanometers, pack enough energy to pierce materials and interact with inner-shell electrons. 1 When they hit a sample, ...

The Siemens D500 powder diffractometer is configured with an graphite monochrometer and IBM compatible workstation. This system is primarily used to satisfy the needs of undergraduate research and is ...

Researchers are trying to design fuel targets that perform under the extreme conditions of a fusion reaction chamber, where temperatures exceed those of our Sun and pressures rival Jupiter's core.
