Identifying sources of light plays an important role in the development of many photonic technologies, such as lidar, remote sensing, and microscopy. Traditionally, identifying light sources as ...

The use of alternative light sources and ultra violet lighting has changed and improved drastically over the last few years. The concept, however, remains the same as the purpose of alternative light ...

Synchrotron radiation facilities can deliver powerful continuum radiation from the microwave (specifically harmonics of the driving RF field) to the X-ray spectral regions. These are produced by high ...

This is our second activity that requires the use of a smartphone or tablet. Please let us know what you think. E-mail editors@sciam.com with feedback about the use of technology in this—and ...

In materials science an X-ray source that is hard and bright can open the door to a wealth of detail. At Diamond Light Source X-ray beams with wavelengths of 0.1–0.2 nm outshine the Sun by a factor of ...
