Ion-Induced Surface Charge Dynamics in Freestanding Monolayers of Graphene and MoS2 Probed by the Emission of Electrons. Physical Review Letters , 2022; 129 (8) DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.086802 ...

To reach higher energies, electron beams are accelerated using radio-frequency (RF) fields, which results in a pulsed beam. Recently, the first pulsed electron cooling system has been installed at the ...

The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC), planned to be built at the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), in partnership with Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator ...

The modern world, full of pollution and electronic devices, is a positive ion prison. Since everything in nature seeks balance, positive ions naturally seek a negative charge. Ironically, it is ...

Lithium-ion batteries are a leading candidate for electric vehicle and smart grid applications. However, further optimizations of the energy/power density, coulombic efficiency and cycle life are ...

Other NASA projects involve laboratory testing and characterization of satellite shielding materials – essentially using electron and ion sources to simulate the solar wind that a craft will ...

Science — Ion qubits could get electronic quantum bus Combining trapped ions and superconductors may make quantum computing magic. Chris Lee - Jul 10, 2012 10:10 pm UTC ...

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has approved Critical Decision 3A (CD-3A) — the go-ahead for long-lead procurements — for the Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). EIC is a state-of-the-art ...

Tell students that when an atom gains or loses an electron, it becomes an ion. Sodium loses an electron, leaving it with 11 protons, but only 10 electrons. Since it has 1 more proton than electrons, ...

Accelerated ion beams heat up. This causes a problem for physicists trying to get the particles to collide. So physicists are exploring ways to cool the beams and keep their particles tightly packed.

The next common configurations are flat and rectangular, similar to small boxes, known as prismatic cells. Typical sizes are 5 × 34 × 50 mm and 10 × 34 × 50 mm, along with a variety other ...
