A team of scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in California announced today that it created livermorium, or element 116, using a titanium particle beam for the first time.

With this proof-of-concept in place, the team now plans to use the titanium beam to hunt for the hypothesized element 120. This could be done by firing titanium at a californium target ...

However, the electromagnetic wave nature of light in free space sets a fundamental limit on the three-dimensional polarization orientation of a light beam. Although a high numerical aperture ...

element 116, using titanium for the first time. The experiment focused a beam of titanium ions onto a target of plutonium. After 22 days of searching, the effort yielded two atoms of livermorium ...

Krivitsky and co-workers started by aiming a linearly polarized laser beam at a crystal. The nonlinear optical properties of the target meant that the incoming light generated pairs of photons in ...

Acro, or acrobatic skills, are the tumbling and flipping elements done on beam. Every routine has to have an acro series of two or more skills, one of which is a skill with flight. A flight ...

Many mechanical structures are modeled with beam elements because they can represent any material and cross section, as well as transmit axial loads, moments, and torques. "But what if a designer ...
