Good Vibrations: Using Terahertz Radiation to Control Material Properties (9/28/2007)

Good Vibrations: Using Terahertz Radiation to Control Material PropertiesResearchers have used molecular vibrations, triggered by ultrafast pulses of terahertz radiation, to change a manganite crystal from an electrical insulator into a conductor. The ability to induce dramatic phase-changes in solid materials through select vibrations holds great promise for future exploitation of prized technological phenomena such as superconductivity and magnetoresistance. ...> Full Article


Physicists achieve landmark accelerator gradient (9/14/2007)

Physicists achieve landmark accelerator gradientScientists work on particle accelerators in much the same way that horsepower junkies work on muscle cars. Although their research doesn't involve turbochargers, stall torque converters or cat back exhaust systems, they obsesses over the power of their machine. ...> Full Article
