The 13 - foot - tall instrument, made by Nion Co., is named HERMES, short for
High Energy Resolution Monochromated Electron energy - loss spectroscopy - Scanning transmission electron microscope.
Fermi has much
poorer energy resolution, says John Wefel, an astrophysicist at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge and leader of the ATIC team.
«Other missions like NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the European Space Agency's XMM - Newton looked at the Perseus cluster before, but their instruments didn't have
sufficient energy resolution to study the dynamics of the intergalactic medium,» said Stanford University postdoctoral researcher Irina Zhuravleva in a press release.
Myron Ebell, an analyst from the institute, spoke at last year's Exxon shareholders» meeting, where he criticized a renewable
energy resolution proposed by a group of shareholders.
Due to the detector's
high energy resolution and sensitivity, it is capable of localizing several chemical elements simultaneously.
Recent significant improvement of
the energy resolution enables the precise investigation of superconducting electrons.
Aalto University scientists have broken the world record by fourteen fold in
the energy resolution of thermal photodetection.
The scientific strategy of the CNM unites three crosscutting and interdependent scientific themes that collectively aim at the discovery and integration of materials across different length scales studied at the extremes of temporal, spatial, and
energy resolutions.
