Researchers from Trinity College Dublin's School of Engineering have built a powerful new machine that lets us watch precisely what happens when tiny particles—far smaller than a grain of sand—hit a ...

Particle accelerators are often framed as exotic machines built only to chase obscure particles, but they are really precision tools that use electric fields and magnets to steer tiny beams of matter ...

Powder and particle technology encompasses the production, characterisation and manipulation of discrete solid particles for a wide range of industrial and scientific applications. Central themes ...

Physicists have spent decades building colossal machines to hurl subatomic particles to near light speed, but the newest frontier in accelerator technology is smaller than a fingernail. By etching ...

Gas atomization encompasses a family of processes in which a stream of molten metal is disintegrated into fine droplets by a high-velocity inert gas, typically nitrogen or argon. The methodology ...
