Sentences with phrase «beam magnetic pulses»

One approach used by doctors at UCLA and a handful of other centers nationwide is to beam magnetic pulses deep into patients» brains, a therapy known as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

Not exact matches

Inertial confinement fusion (ICF) seeks to create those conditions by taking a tiny capsule of fusion fuel (typically a mixture of the hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium) and crushing it at high speed using some form of «driver,» such as lasers, particle beams, or magnetic pulses.

In addition, the researchers used high - power nanosecond - pulsed laser beams to modify the VO2 and make it magnetic.

To break this limit in crystal size, an extremely bright X-ray beam was needed, which was obtained using a so - called free - electron laser (FEL), in which a beam of high - speed electrons is guided through a magnetic undulator causing them to emit laser - like X-ray pulses.

With very strong magnetic fields and very fast rotations, some neutron stars blast beams of electromagnetic radiation from their poles, and if Earth is in the path of those beams we can detect the signals as regular «pulses» — hence the name pulsars.

The pulses are thought to result from lighthouse - like beams of radio energy shooting from the neutron star's magnetic poles that sweep across the Earth as the star rotates.
