In 2009 researchers found an "ionization surprise" that defied explanation. Until that time, it had been commonly thought that the ionization of atoms by strong laser fields was well-understood, but ...

What are the ionization techniques for mass spectrometry? Mass spectrometry (MS) plays a vital role in many aspects of our lives, from diagnosing illness and detecting food contaminants to fighting ...

An air ionizer releases negative ions into the air. This helps particles clump together and land on a surface, which could be cleaned. Benefits include mold, bacteria, and virus prevention, among ...

A group of scientists from the University of Ottawa has made important progress in their understanding of ionization, a basic ...

Researchers have for the first time measured the first ionization energy of lawrencium, the last of the actinides, validating predictions of the element’s electronic structure (Nature 2015, DOI: ...

Not all smoke detectors are equal, and the type of smoke detector installed in many homes might not sound off in all fires. Smoke alarm manufacturers sell alarms with two types of technology.

This report both complements and extends Technical Reports Series No. 277/2, Absorbed Dose Determination in Photon and Electron Beams - An International Code of Practice, IAEA Technical Reports Series ...
