Particle accelerator miniaturised onto a microchip by Stanford scientists
Updated : 6 years, 2 months ago IST
California [USA], Jan 3 (ANI): The two-mile-long particle accelerator that is built on a hillside above the Stanford University uses microwave radiation to push electrons in a tube filled with vacuum, to velocities approaching that of light. The beam of particles emanating from this process

Now, a method to measure potentially damaging cigarette smoke radicals
Updated : 8 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Mar. 30 (ANI): A team of researchers has come up with a method for measuring free radicals, which are atoms or groups of atoms with unpaired electrons thought to be partly responsible for making smokers sick, and this could help improve the understanding of the relatio
