Non-linear optics meets X-rays
The recent advent of femtosecond X-ray sources offers unprecedented opportunities for structural and dynamical studies. It requires, however, manipulating spectral properties, as commonly done by non-linear optics at visible/infrared wavelengths. Her.....»»
Japanese semiconductor equipment makers hit worse by export controls than western peers
Japan is set to officially tighten export controls on 23 semiconductor equipment items to China, starting in July, following the US-led containment against Chinese semiconductor industry. The decision not only meets strong repercussions from Beijing,.....»»
Laboratory solar flares reveal clues to mechanism behind bursts of high-energy particles
Simulating solar flares on a scale the size of a banana, researchers at Caltech have parsed out the process by which these massive explosions blast potentially harmful energetic particles and X-rays into the cosmos. Their research is published in the.....»»
Mathematical model provides bolt of understanding for lightning-produced X-rays
In the early 2000s, scientists observed lightning discharge producing X-rays comprising high energy photons—the same type used for medical imaging. Researchers could recreate this phenomenon in the lab, but they could not fully explain how and why.....»»
The first JWST spectrum of the GRB 221009A afterglow
Gamma-ray bursts are the most energetic and luminous events known to occur in the Universe. Short-lived flashes of gamma rays that typically last from a a tenth of a second to less than an hour, gamma-ray bursts may for a brief period of time outshin.....»»
Bright gamma ray burst confounds models of black hole birth
Last October, following one of the brightest flashes of gamma rays ever observed in the sky, telescopes around the world captured a wealth of data from an event that is thought to herald the collapse of a massive star and the birth of a black hole......»»

Does current shellfish anti-predator gear curb "crunching" rays?
According to NOAA Fisheries, more than 80 percent of marine aquaculture production in the United States consists of bivalve mollusks such as oysters, clams and mussels. However, it's not just humans who enjoy eating these shellfish, so do marine rays.....»»
NASA"s Curiosity views first "sun rays" on Mars
Martian sunsets are uniquely moody, but NASA's Curiosity rover captured one last month that stands out. As the sun descended over the horizon on Feb. 2, rays of light illuminated a bank of clouds. These "sun rays" are also known as crepuscular rays,.....»»
Bees follow linear landmarks to find their way home, just like the first pilots
Scientists have shown that honeybees retain a memory of the dominant linear landscape elements in their home area like channels, roads, and boundaries. When transported to an unfamiliar area, they seek out local elements of this kind, compare their l.....»»
