In this study, an ambient–spark–produced–Au– nanoparticle–laden nitrogen gas was mixed with an atomized solution of 1–hexanethiol and ethanol (EtOH). By increasing the thiol concentration from 0.1% to 1.0% (v/v), the size distribution of merged particles (Au–thiol) was changed from bimodal to unimodal configuration. The latter phenomenon is attributed to quantitative incorporation of Au nanoparticles into atomized particles. Measurements of cell...

Researchers have reported the observation of long-lived Floquet prethermal states in a bulk solid composed of dipolar-coupled 13C nuclei in diamond at room temperature. For precessing nuclear spins prepared in an initial transverse state, we demonstrate pulsed spin-lock Floquet control that prevents their decay over multiple-minute long periods. Researchers observed Floquet prethermal lifetimes 𝑇’2 ≈90.9s, extended >60,000-fold over the nuclear...

BackgroundRADAR (“Radio Detection And Ranging”) is a system that uses electromagnetic waves to identify an object, its direction, relative speed, or even for 2D & 3D imaging. Radars help identify both fixed & moving objects such as aircraft, ships, vehicles, weather formations, and terrain. Radars use transmitters that emit electromagnetic waves that are reflected by a target (“Echoes”) and detected...

Electromagnetic Radiation, RF Pulses and RadarA radar transmitter generates multiple forms of electromagnetic energy. This energy is amplified and transmitted and ultimately is reflected off a target, received and the difference in time and frequency of the transmit signal verses the received signal is used to determine the distance and velocity of a target.Referring to figure 1; a pulse of...

Aspheric optics are commonly used in advanced optical systems, such as AR/VR headsets, surveillance systems and semiconductor applications, to minimize size, weight, and cost. Achieving the required level of performance requires stringent control in the machining and metrology of the optics. One of the manufacturing tools used to make precision aspheres is a single point diamond turning lathe like those...

Wikipedia definition:Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage in operational equipment. The goal of EMC is the correct operation of different equipment in a...

WHY IS SEM IMAGING USED TO STUDY STYROFOAM? SEM imaging is an ideal tool to check the size and homogeneity of the cells in the polymer foam structure, and if the material has a closed or open cell structure. Other elements that can be studied are the foaming and cell formation efficiency, and how different agents influence these processes. Chemical...
