Achieving practical interstellar travel requires overcoming the immense challenge of reaching extraordinary velocities. To ...
"Chemical rockets that we use today, even with the extra speed boost from flying by planets, or from swinging by the sun for ...
Traveling from one star to another is currently impossible to achieve within a human lifetime. But some projects are designing ways to propel payloads to the nearest star system (Alpha Centauri) using ...
Scientists propose using relativistic electron beams to propel spacecraft, offering a new hope for interstellar travel within ...
He shares the results of his electron-beam lithography experiments in his latest video (embedded below). In e-beam lithography, or EBL, shapes are drawn onto a wafer using an electron beam in a ...
University of Missouri scientists are unlocking the secrets of halide perovskites—a material that's poised to reshape our ...
A new technical paper titled “Sensitivity and contrast of indium nitrate hydrate resist evaluated by low-energy electron beam ...
Most of the paper goes into detail about this, focusing on relativistic electron beams. This mission concept, known as Sunbeam, would use just such a beam. Utilizing electrons traveling at such ...
A team of scientists has made the first experimental measurements of laser-induced motions of miniature lightsails in the lab.
An advanced imaging technique developed at Cornell has revealed the first two-dimensional, mechanically interlocked ...
E-beam lithography operates on principles similar to photolithography but provides significantly higher resolution. The process begins with coating a substrate with an electron-sensitive resist ...
