THE discovery of cosmic blackbody radiation with a temperature of 2.7 K is widely considered as powerful evidence for the hot, big-bang model of the universe. As first discussed by Gamow, it is ...

The origin of cosmic rays, high-energy particles from outer space constantly impacting on Earth, is among the most challenging open questions in astrophysics. Now research sheds new light on the ...

In a recent breakthrough, Dr. HUO Zhipeng and his student CHEN Zuoyang from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a new class of PbWO 4 ...

“Our method of generating terahertz radiation makes applications possible that were previously too costly for such sources,” says Tobias Kampfrath, leader of the Terahertz Physics Research Group at ...

Ionizing radiation induces bistranded clustered damages-two or more abasic sites, oxidized bases and strand breaks on opposite DNA strands within a few helical turns. Since clusters are refractory to ...

Ocean Optics reports on how spectroscopy revolutionizes research by utilizing light to analyze materials, improving accuracy ...

This diagram illustrates the effects of applying LBSO thermal emitter to TPV technology. In the case of a typical blackbody, when it absorbs heat, it emits radiant energy over a very broad wavelength ...
