Nowadays, electron beam radiotherapy is conducted using metal collimators for the formation of radiation field around a tumor and protection of healthy organs and tissues. However, the development of ...

April 23 (UPI) --Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have managed to build a cascading silicon peashooter -- a smaller, more precise atomic beam collimator. The technology could be used ...

Atoms (blue) shoot out of parallel barrels of an atom beam collimator. Lasers (pink) can manipulate the exiting atoms for desired effects. Atomic beam collimators are mostly found in physics labs, ...

To a non-physicist, an "atomic beam collimator" may sound like a phaser firing mystical particles. That might not be the worst metaphor to introduce a technology that researchers have now miniaturized ...

What prompted the MIT team to research and develop a nanoscale "flashlight"? Details on the metasurface that was designed to create the source-beam collimator. How a DNN, CNN, and machine learning ...

Atomic beams conjure fantasies of gigantic Space Force canons. But there are real tiny atomic beams that shoot out of newly engineered collimators, a kind of tiny silicon peashooter, that could land ...
