by applying stronger or weaker currents to the light within the phase shifter, the number of electrons within each light path changeshich, in turn,
and then amplify the kinetic energy of an incoming particle by converting that potential energy into a larger kinetic energy added to an exiting object.
The authors note that the maximum gradient available in most clinical scanners is in around 20-40mt/m. This would produce a force on a magnetized steel particle equal to 36-71%of its gravitational force.
whereby opaque, charged particles (approx. 1 micron in size) are attracted to electrodes that posses an opposite charge.
Thus the electric field created between the two electrodes causes the flow of these particles back and forth.
The interaction of incoming light with each electrophoretic pixel (two electrodes) depends on the position of the particles relative to these electrodes,
In reference to these, the device uses electrophoresis to attract charged color particles to the top transparent electrode to preadtheir color,
The device is filled with dual-colour, dual-particle colloidal dispersion inks. It is common in e-ink displays to use sub-pixels (i e. multiple electrodes to do some fancy charged transport),
seeing that the use of organic film as the electron transport in past LED production resulted in a decreased photoluminescence and an inaccurate color reproduction.
just as in silicon, the electrons orbiting within titanium-trisulfide can be pushed easily up into the conduction band,
Its achievable bandgap also makes silicon highly absorptive to incoming energy sources like photons, and today most solar cells are based on silicon.

#New material combines photons for big solar energy gains An innovative new approach to solar energy from University of California Riverside could dramatically increase the amount of light available to contemporary solar panel designs.
They created an all-new hybrid material that takes two photons of 980-nanometer infrared light shone onto it and p convertsthem into one photon of 550-nanometer orange yellow light.
This photon has almost double the energy of the originals and more importantly, it exists in a form that existing solar panels can absorb.
which takes these long-wavelength photons and combines them. The resulting, lower-wavelength photons can move on to be absorbed by the transistors of the solar panel as normal,
just as though it has been that color upon first arrival. The overall costs of solar power lie much more in installation, maintenance,
The ability to accurately convert photons between wavelengths could have a wide range of applications, from medical imaging to optical data storage,
#Flavour delivery particle can cut sugar by half and is cheaper than sugar Developed by inventor
a carrier particle is coated with sugar molecules using non-covalent bonding. This increases the surface area meaning the same sweetness can be achieved using less sugar.
"The carrier particle has been approved for use in food and beverage applications and requires no regulatory process.
The carrier particle is so effective in cutting out sugar that the end product while the same size in terms of volume-can be significantly lighter that the original product,

Roughly half of the dust particles were removed with just three drops of water. It took only a dozen drops to leave the surface spotless.
Once inside the cell, the virus creates a long strand of a large viral protein that must be cut at specific points to release individual proteins that serve various functions in building new virus particles.
or the interaction between light and free electrons on a metal's surface. When exposed to light,
the free electrons get excited and begin to oscillate, generating heat. Once the light is off, the oscillations and the heating stop.
The light was able to heat electrons at the interface of the gold films and DNA solution ramping temperatures up staggeringly fast at approximately 13°C per second.
When a photon hits a silicon atom inside a solar cell, the excess energy frees up an electron that is later used to generate electricity.
Occasionally, though, the electron simply recombines with a silicon atom, effectively wasting the energy provided by the photon.
Recombination is proportional to the surface area of the silicon and the needles on the surface of dark silicon raise surface area so much that about half of the freed electrons are lost"in this way.
Now, a team of researchers led by assistant professor Hele Savin has managed to get around the issue, and in so doing, it has increased the record efficiency of black silicon cells by almost four percentage points, up to 22.1 percent.
These two changes meant that only four percent of the freed up electrons recombined, as opposed to the previous 50 percent.
More oxygen in the combustion chamber also results in a more complete burn of particulate matter (PM) of 2. 5 micrometers or less, also known as fine particles.
Using magnetized particles flowing through a micro-miniature network of channels, the machine runs like clockwork and is claimed to be capable of performing complex logical operations.
due to its inherent ability to maintain excitation levels that allow the freer flow of electrons.
That is, just as graphene is able to rapidly emit electrons when excited by lasers as the electrons remain at an elevated state,
it also provides a similar capability for efficient photon release in an electrically-heated situation."
"At the highest temperatures, the electron temperature is much higher than that of acoustic vibrational modes of the graphene lattice,
so that less energy is needed to attain temperatures needed for visible light emission, "said Myung-Ho Bae, a senior researcher at KRISS."
and then that causes electrons to flow in the"wrong"direction thereby increasing electric resistance and allowing a very precise read of the data that's magnetically stored in a given location."
"The faster the electrons in the material move, the greater the Lorentz force and thus the effect of a magnetic field,"explains study lead author Binghai Yan.
The electrons in this material, niobium phosphide, travel very quickly. Niobium phosphide contains superfast charge carriers,
or relativistic electrons, that move at 300 km/s (186 mi/s), which is one-thousandth the speed of light.
Some of the light is absorbed by electrons on the film's surface which causes them to jostle.
as the electrons would quickly"disappear"into a lower energy state. This meant that these cells were not a viable solution for a clean energy grid,
Now, researchers Fuqiang Liu and colleagues have created a PEC cell that includes a specially designed photoelectrode (the component that converts incoming photons into electrons.
Unlike previous designs, their hybrid tungsten trioxide/titanium dioxide (WO3/Tio2) photoelectrode can store electrons effectively for long periods of time,
and electrons in the cell,"says lead author of the paper Dong Liu.""Release of the stored electrons under dark conditions continues solar energy storage,

#New molecular transistor can control single electrons Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United states have managed to create a tiny,
The transistor reportedly operates so precisely that it can control the flow of single electrons,

single electrons can tunnel between the surface of the crystal and the tip of the microscope.
regulating the electron's flow and leading to a functioning and reliable molecular transistor. One unusual fact observed was that the molecule orients itself in a different direction depending on its charge state and, in turn,
the orientation of the molecule has a strong effect on how the electron flows across the molecule.
If exploited, this knowledge could help us build molecular nanostructures with a very precise control over single electrons, leading to new types of high-performance semiconductors and nanomaterials r

In addition, it has better blocking qualities for low energy gamma rays and neutron radiation. Although it was better than most materials at blocking X-rays,
as the graphene patches and diamond particles rub up against a large diamond-like carbon surface, the graphene rolls itself around the diamond particle, creating something that looks like a ball bearing on the nanoscopic level. he interaction between the graphene

#Elusive New Pentaquark Particle Discovered After 50-Year Hunt After 50 years, the hunt is over.
an elusive subatomic particle that was proposed first to exist more than 50 years ago.""The pentaquark is not just any new particle,"Guy Wilkinson,
a spokesperson for the LHC experiment that discovered the pentaquark, said in a statement.""It represents a way to aggregate quarks, namely the fundamental constituents of ordinary protons and neutrons,
in a pattern that has never been observed before in over 50 years of experimental searches.
the protons and neutrons from which we're all made, is constituted.""See Photos of the Large hadron collider The new discovery validates a long-held notion about the nature of matter.
In 1964, physicist Murray Gell-Mann proposed that a group of particles known as baryons, which include protons
and neutrons, are made actually up of three even tinier charged subatomic particles known as quarks. Meanwhile, the theory went,
another group of particles called mesons were composed of quarks and their antimatter partners, antiquarks. The theory was validated soon by experimental results,
and Gell-Mann's work won the Nobel prize in physics in 1969. But crunching the numbers in Gell-Mann's theory also led to the conclusion that other
more exotic particles could exist, such as the pentaquark: a group of four quarks and an antiquark.
Over the past several decades, people have seen hints of pentaquarks in experimental data, but those all turned out to be false leads.
In the current study, Wilkinson and his colleagues examined the decay of particles after collisions in the Large hadron collider (LHC),
The team studied how a particular baryon known as lambda B decayed into three other particles:
a proton, a particle known as J-psi and a charged kaon. However, while analyzing data from these collisions,
researchers noticed spikes that suggested the lambda B baryons took a pit stop on the way to decaying to these other three particles, transitioning into other, intermediate particles on the way."
the team concluded that these intermediate particles were made pentaquarks up of two up quarks, one down quark, one charm quark and one anti-charm quark.
Quarks come in six flavors: up, down, top, bottom, strange and charm. The researchers have submitted now their findings to the journal Physical Review Letters.

it has very little effect on the physics of the electron. But when they're aligned,
the more they are aligned, the larger the moire and the stronger the effect on the electrons,
electrons get slowed down, "he explains. It turns out that if two layers of graphene are stacked in alignment,
electrons traveling within a layer are slowed down in the same way. But with graphene, if the layers stacked on top of each other are misaligned,
then the electron in one layer does not get affected by the other layers and zips along quickly."

"Even though they are right on top of each other, atoms apart, if you twist them, then the electrons cannot actually go from one layer to the other just by themselves.
They need help from other elements in the system. So you can put them right on top of each other,
