A tectonic clash in Tibet formed giant copper deposits, revealing how recycled crust can power clean energy and reshape ...

Nanoproducts find wide-ranging applications, from medicine and pharmaceutics to electronic industry, optics and environmental protection. Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) with antibacterial properties ...

Scientists have generated the shortest pulses of high-energy X-rays to date by using a powerful laser to stimulate inner shell electrons - the ...

Summary form only given. Copper wire arrays have previously been fielded in large diameter (up to 70 mm) nested configurations on the 20 MA Z machine, with average Cu K-shell (8.4 keV) yields of 20 kJ ...

Scientists have developed aluminum alloys with higher strength and superior resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. A team led by researchers from the Max Planck Institute mixed scandium with ...

"We have observed strong lasing phenomena in inner-shell X-ray lasing and been able to simulate and calculate how it evolves," says Uwe Bergmann, physics professor at UW–Madison, and senior author on ...

In this study, the pulses were focused onto copper or manganese targets, with the XFEL’s energy tuned high enough to excite those metals’ tightly held innermost electrons. An initial pulse excited the ...

For the electron excitation experiments, copper and tungsten targets were employed as X-ray sources, as they emit distinctive X-ray spectra upon electron-beam bombardment.

Light-activated copper microrobots use single-atom catalysis and peroxide to penetrate biofilms, generate reactive oxygen species, and eliminate MRSA infections.

For nearly two centuries, copper has been the standard for electrical conductivity, used in wiring, microelectronics, and computing - but as electronic devices become portable power stations, it's ...

A green-patinated copper shell topped with solar panels forms this "habitable power station" in Oxford, designed by local studio Adrian James Architects.

Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic semiconductors due to the number of electrons in their outermost electron shells.
