In the spacecraft's first record - breaking accomplishment, reported June 16 in Science, the satellite used onboard lasers to beam down pairs of entangled particles, which have eerily linked properties, to two cities in China, where the particles were captured by telescopes (SN: 8/5/17, p. 14).

That quantum key would be derived by measuring the properties of quantum particles beamed down from such a satellite.

For this theory to work, the beams released by black holes would have to have strong, self - generated magnetic fields and the rotation of particles around the fields would then give off powerful bursts of gamma ray radiation.

By using another instrument to measure the energies of beam particles after they've passed through the 2 - D material, researchers can discern the material's density — and track how that density changes as they turn up the heat.

Scientists here at Birmingham have designed and built the detector and readout system that identifies the kaon particles in the beam which is mainly formed by pions with only 6 % of kaons; this detector is therefore an essential element of the experiment, and has the best time resolution of all the components; we are very proud that it works brilliantly and has allowed this measurement to be made.

Clouds of electrons created by ionised gas in the beam chamber and microscopic dust particles — playfully known as unidentified falling objects, or UFOs — are interrupting the beams and making it harder to get the LHC running consistently.

«LFEX laser» enables us to generate high energy pulses of quantum beams with large current, and one can expect such medical applications as particle beam cancer therapy and non-destructive inspection for bridges and etc. (or defect inspection by gamma - ray beam and neutrons).

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.

Now, a team of engineers has come one step closer to the ideal by exploiting the phenomenon of photophoresis, in which small, airborne particles can be manipulated with an intense beam of light.

By using electron and positron beams instead of heavier protons, the ILC will allow physicists to probe particle properties with much greater precision than they can at the LHC.

Atoms can be cooled using lasers because light particles from the laser beam are absorbed and re-emitted by the atoms, causing them to lose some of their kinetic energy.
