Plasma-Therm has acquired Nano Etch Systems Inc. of California, a developer of ion beam etch (IBE) and ion beam deposition (IBD) systems. Nano Etch Systems (NES) was founded in 2009. The company's Pinnacle™ IBE and IBD systems deliver…

The fundamental physical limitations on the performance of cloaking devices, a technology that allows objects to become invisible or undetectable to electromagnetic waves including radio waves, microwaves, infrared and visible light have…

Employees of MEPh have been the first to develop detectors of transition radiation, which are able to split hadrons (protons, K-mesons and pi-mesons) in record-high energy fields from 1 to 6 TeV. Transition radiation (TR) is a form of…

A new combination of methods that can provide detailed information about the microstructure of polycrystalline metals has been developed by researchers at MIT and elsewhere. Such materials—composed of a random matrix of multiple small…

In a paper published in the journal Optics Letters, from The Optical Society (OSA), a research team now proposes a way around the diffraction limit of telescopes—one that could potentially enable even moderately sized telescopes to obtain…

The future of electronics may include two other nanomaterials, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, Riverside and the University of Georgia, despite graphene having emerged as one of the most promising…

Radiologist Judy Yee, MD, at UCSF's 3D Imaging Lab pulls up an image that looks more like a birthday party balloon animal than a patient's colon: a vibrant, color-segmented tube, torqued and twisted in on itself. Created from thin slices of…
