Super scintillators enable X-ray detection at an ultralow level

The introduction of lead-free metal halide powder into a scintillation screen took some tinkering. KAUST researchers have worked out the right technique. They were able to produce an exceptionally efficient, robust and flexible scintillation film. This will bring significant improvements in medical, industrial and...

Hyperpolic shear polaritons in low-symmetry crystals

Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Vanderbilt University, City University of New York, University of Nebraska and University of Iowa scientists have published new results on asymmetric light-matter waves. The study has been published in Nature. The study has uncovered that low-symmetry...

Scientists discover method to create upward water fountain in deep water

University of Houston engineers have discovered that they can create upward fountains in water by shining laser beams on the water's surface. Scientists attribute the finding to a phenomenon called Marangoni effect. This causes convection and explains the behavior of water when differences in...
