Watching proteins move as they drive the chemical reactions that sustain life is one of the grand challenges of modern biology. In recent years, X-ray free-electron lasers, or XFELs, have begun to ...

We love coming across low mileage, unreasonably well-kept examples of otherwise forgettable cars, but this burgundy-on-burgundy 1988 Buick Riviera T-Type with just 22,000 miles on its digital odometer ...

John Logie Baird circa 1925 in an early test of televising two ventriloquist dolls using his transmitting apparatus from the 1927 book Television for the Home. (see this blog for more on the book).

If you're a classic collector, you might've been lucky enough to snag yourself one of those old retro TVs, a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube). The tech has been around for over a century, having been invented ...

The cathode ray tube amusement device is the earliest known interactive electronic game to use a cathode ray tube (CRT). It is a device that records and controls the quality of an electronic signal.

Sandia scientists developed a new type of X-ray that uses patterned multi-metal targets to create colorized, high-resolution images. The technology promises sharper scans, better material detection, ...

Dark matter, a type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While theoretical predictions hint at its abundance, detecting this ...

In a new Nature Physics paper, researchers report the first experimental observation of the transverse Thomson effect, a key thermoelectric phenomenon that has eluded scientists since it was predicted ...

Compared with S-band and C-band accelerating structures, X-band structures can run at a higher accelerating gradient and are more compact in size. In order to obtain higher electron energy in a ...
