In this work, images of L-edge subtraction ... glass substrates were cut from glass microscope cover slides into 15 mm × 15 mm slides that were cleaned in an ultrasonic bath with acetone and ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the ...

In a pioneering approach to achieve fusion energy, the SMART device has successfully generated its first tokamak plasma. This step brings the international fusion community closer to achieving ...

The 2D laser energy distribution on the ... the electron density was increased by more than 50%, while the plasma temperature varied less than 500 K, suggesting an evident ablation enhancement. The ...

In 2020-2021, a mysterious skin disease affected fishermen in Senegal. High levels of Portimine A toxin, produced by the ...

Megakaryocytes form a three-dimensional (3D) cage composed of laminin and collagen IV connected to the basement membrane surrounding them. This microarchitecture stabilizes megakaryocytes within their ...

Scientists in China on a quest to build a nuclear fusion reactor capable of producing unlimited, low-cost energy have achieved a sustained plasma temperature exceeding 100 million degrees Celsius ...

Due to proteostasis stress induced by aging or disease, misfolded proteins can form toxic intermediate species of aggregates and eventually mature into less toxic inclusion bodies (IBs). Here, using a ...

Here’s how it works. China's "artificial sun" reactor has broken its own world record for maintaining super-hot plasma, marking another milestone in the long road towards near-limitless clean ...
