A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons accelerated using ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses has been demonstrated by a team of researchers. A targeted way to manipulate beams of protons ...

This article explains the reason why so many manufacturers need to measure particle size and the reason behind laser diffraction being the method of choice. Different industries measure particle size ...

Ultrashort laser pulses—that are shorter than a millionth of a millionth of a second—have transformed fundamental science, ...

When a pulse of light reflects from a mirror that is travelling close to the speed of light, Einstein’s theory of relativity predicts that it will be up-shifted to a substantially higher frequency and ...

Some published articles purport to demonstrate the difficulties and problems of the laser diffraction technique without mentioning that these apparent problems are inherent in all particle-sizing ...

Particle size defines the performance of a wide range of different products, including cement, paints, inks, metal powders, cosmetics, foods and drinks. Measuring relevant particle size data is ...

Water in diesel fuel is one of the most common reasons for engine breakdown and its removal is vital for the efficient and safe operation of diesel engines, anywhere they are used. Therefore, fuel ...

Stuart Wakefield, Regional Manager – Middle East, and India/ Director – Malvern Aimil Instruments (India) in the article reviews the use of laser diffraction and automated imaging coupled with ...

The particle size of the fat droplets present in dairy and other food emulsions is important in defining properties such as flavor release, mouth feel and the emulsion stability. Large emulsion ...

Malvern Panalytical Instrument’s Spraytec laser diffraction system allows measurement of spray particle and spray droplet size distributions in real-time for more efficient product development of ...

The collective response of charged particles to intense fields is intrinsic to plasma accelerators and radiation sources, relativistic optics and many astrophysical phenomena. Here we show that a ...
