Scientists have, for the first time, successfully studied liquid carbon in the lab by combining a powerful high-performance laser with the European XFEL x-ray laser. The experiment captured fleeting ...

Abstract: Barium fluoride (BaF2) crystals are known for their applications in high-energy physics (HEP) experiments due to their ultrafast scintillation component. However, the slow scintillation ...

Light typically interacts with a material the same way whether it enters through the front or the back—like polarized ...

Many molecules exist in two mirror-image forms—like left and right hands—that look identical but can behave very differently, ...

Discovered by an amateur mathematician in 2022, this strange construct can tile an infinite surface without repeating. But ...

Ultrafast X-rays revealed how a molecule converts absorbed light into motion in just trillionths of a second. Individual ...
