Sentences with phrase «high energy photons for»

Not exact matches

We can observe it indirectly by looking out for the high - energy photons thought to be released when two of these particles collide and annihilate each other.

If the system is in the high - energy state, the demon allows the system to drop to lower energy, in the process spitting out a photon, which the demon can harvest for energy.

It is expected to operate for 10 years, observing high - energy gamma - ray photons from violent supermassive black holes and mysterious cosmic explosions called gamma - ray bursts.

For example, in a solar cell, an incoming photon may strike an electron, kicking it to a higher energy level.

Off the coast of west Africa, perched on the highest point of the Canary Islands, a gamma - ray telescope called MAGIC — the name stands for the Major Atmospheric Gamma - ray Imaging Cherenkov telescope — scans the heavens for bursts of high - energy photons from far corners of the universe.

A newly developed laser technology has enabled physicists in the Laboratory for Attosecond Physics (jointly run by LMU Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics) to generate attosecond bursts of high - energy photons of unprecedented intensity.

The next step for the team will be partnering with researchers at the Cornell High Energy Synchronous Source (CHESS), Cornell University and the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Argonne National Laboratory to develop standalone RAMS load frames.

«Our experimental platform represents a testbed that can readily be upgraded for measurements with higher precision, by using a ultra-bright source of entangled photons, and higher - dimensional degrees of freedom, such as energy - time entanglement.»

The processes (absorption of light, collisional energy transfer and emission) can be separated because the average time that an isolated CO2 molecule takes before it emits a photon is much longer that the time for collisional de-excitation (~ tens of microseconds at atmospheric pressure, less, higher in the atmosphere).

While OLEDs get a lot of attention for their high picture quality and low energy consumption, Hartlove stated that Crystilline LEDs are about 30 % efficient at turning energy into photons while OLEDs are only about 4 % efficient.
