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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

“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 ...

Inside the ruined shell of reactor 4 at Chernobyl, where gamma radiation still spikes far above normal background levels, a ...
