Sentences with phrase «creating beams of electrons»

Not exact matches

Four years later, Max Knoll discovered a means to sweep an electron beam over the surface of a sample, creating the first scanning electron microscope (SEM) images.

By the way on March 19th, the LHC broke its own record by creating beams of protons at an energy level of 3.5 trillion electron volts.

An electron microscope, which uses a beam of electrons as a light source, recorded the raw data that was then analyzed to create 3 - D reconstructions of the structures.

Previously, researchers have used either electron beam lithography or, more recently, the tiny styluslike arm of an atomic force microscope (AFM) to create nanometer - sized features on a surface.

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.

A simple new electron - beam multilayer deposition technique for creating intracavity contacts — an important component of gallium nitride - based (III - nitride) vertical - cavity surface - emitting lasers (VCSELs)-- not only yields intriguing optoelectronic properties but also paves the way for others entering this realm of research.

Much like in an old tube television where a beam of electrons moves over a phosphor screen to create images, the new microscopy technique works by scanning a beam of electrons over a sample that has been coated with specially engineered quantum dots.

Much like in an old tube television where a beam of electrons moves over a phosphor screen to create images, the new technique works by scanning a beam of electrons over a sample that has been coated with the quantum dots.

Neil's machine produces coherent laser light directly from an electron beam, allowing it to create any wavelength of light — in other words, any color on the spectrum.

Unlike conventional lasers, which use mirrors to amplify the light they create, free - electron lasers rely on a high - quality electron beam and an array of magnets.

The photons arrive in two precise beams which should be created far from the neutron star surface: on the far end of the magnetosphere or outside it, in the ultra-relativistic wind of particles around the pulsar, to be able to accelerate electrons to such energies and to escape the large absorption in the magnetised atmosphere.

In the end, the strong separation of negatively charged electrons and now positively charged atoms, or ions, creates the forces that accelerate an ion beam toward the tumor.

She used electron - beam deposition to create arrays — regular arrangements of nanorods — in each pixel.

As part of the research, scientists Jun Lou and colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory developed a technique that allowed them to peer through windows created by an electron beam in order to measure the catalytic activity of molybdenum disulfide — the 2 - D material that shows potential for being used in applications using electrocatalysis to separate hydrogen from water.

With the CRT, the image and colors are created when a beam of electrons fired at the glass screen activate phosphor dots.
