Ultra-fast X-ray pulses reveal how a solid melts into a liquid
Source: Stanford Posted: 4/22/2005 Using ultra-fast bursts of X-ray light, scientists at the Department of Energy's Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) have observed the dizzyingly fast first steps of a solid melting into a liquid. Full story...
Scientists control super fast frequencies
Source: UMich Posted: 4/22/2005 Imagine an imaging technology that could see deep into human tissue without the harmful side effects of radiation. Super-fast oscillations of radio waves, called terahertz (THz) have that promise, but so far, controlling them has been beyond reach. Full story...
New superlens opens door to nanoscale optical imaging
Source: UCBerkeley Posted: 4/22/2005 A group of scientists at the UC Berkeley, is giving new relevance to the term 'sharper image' by creating a superlens that can overcome a limitation in physics that has historically constrained the resolution of optical images. Full story...
