Six critical steps are involved in the manufacturing of semiconductors. These steps include deposition, photoresist, lithography, etch, ionization and packaging. This article discusses several ...

Water molecules undergo ultrafast dithering motions at room temperature and generate extremely strong electric fields in their environment. New experiments demonstrate how in presence of such fields ...

The best-laid plans of MICE and muons did not go awry: Physicists at the International Muon Ionization Cooling Experiment, or MICE, collaboration have achieved their yearslong goal of quickly sapping ...

Researchers propose a scheme to identify and weigh the quantum orbits in strong-field tunneling ionization. Electron motion in atoms and molecules is of fundamental importance to many physical, ...

A research group led by Prof. Ma Xinwen at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) has observed a novel molecular ionization dissociation pathway triggered by ...

A Geiger counter, also known as the Geiger-Muller tube, is an inexpensive and useful instrument used to quickly detect and measure radiation. There are two types of radiation, non-ionizing and ...

In this interview, AZoM talks to Ed Sprake, Principal Product Manager at Waters, about the work Waters do with ambient ionization in mass spectrometry and the potential that this innovation has.
