Researchers have long thought pure niobium superconducting radiofrequency cavities were best for particle accelerators. Researchers are now using a toolkit to learn how to add impurities to the ...

This orientation map of a nitrogen-doped sample of niobium shows the formation of niobium nitrides (rainbow-colored shards) within grains and along grain boundaries (the grain boundaries shown are the ...

New research suggests that particle accelerators capable of generating intense, coherent X-rays, which are typically produced only at vast, stadium-sized facilities, may one day fit on a table. The ...

Legendary Intel CTO and CEO Pat Gelsinger is now serving as executive chairman at xLight, a startup that develops a free electron laser (FEL) technology as a light source for extreme ultraviolet (EUV) ...
