Hadron therapy shows potential to improve the effectiveness of cancer radiotherapy. By exploiting the characteristic depth-dose distributions of hadrons in tissues (the Bragg peak), the technique ...

Nittan Europe has launched an enhanced version of its EV-Firebeam Xtra loop powered beam detector: the EV-Firebeam Xtra SCI. The EV-Firebeam Xtra SCI now features a short Circuit Isolator in addition ...

Although I was lucky enough to tour Brookhaven's RHIC accelerator during a period of scheduled downtime, my trips to the LHC and Fermilab both took place while the particle accelerators were in ...

Optex expands on its industry leading outdoor battery powered intrusion line by adding the SL-350QFR, a 350 ft. battery-powered photoelectric detector requiring no trenching or wiring. “Even with the ...

The latest product from smoke detector producer FFE is a smoke beam detector that self-aligns in less than a minute to protect large commercial and public spaces. The Fireray One promises to make ...

Gravitational wave detectors often face thermal distortion issues when using high-power lasers, which can degrade the quality of the laser beam and limit the detector's ability to capture weak signals ...

The beam is off, but high energy physics research is very much on at one of the world’s premier particle physics labs. The requirements of social distancing have prompted scientists at the U.S.

If you play an instrument, you know how rewarding it is to watch and hear yourself reproduce your favorite songs and make new melodies. But you also know how steep the learning curve can be, how ...
