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 ...

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 ...

Radiation spectrum management technology has traditionally been applied in a wide range of environmental settings. Still, recently, materials resistant to extreme circumstances have become more and ...

Quantum analogue: Jeff Steinhauer and colleagues have measured the temperature of an analogue black hole. (Courtesy: Technion) Physicists in Israel have shown that radiation from an analogue black ...

“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 ...

Temperature is one of the most frequently measured parameters, and with good reason. Temperature serves as an important indicator of the condition of an object in machinery, medical diagnostics, ...
