A few models include the 75, 250, and 750S1G6C ranging from 250 W - 750 W CW, and 1 - 6 GHz with the 750 reaching 1.0 - 4.2 GHz; 500 W, 4.2 - 6 GHz. Learn more. Biden announces US-backed small modular reactor project in Romania The award to NuScale Power is part of a new multilateral assistance program for infrastructure development in low-income nations. David Kramer Behind the cover: July 2022 A look inside one of the prototype detectors for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment conveys the program's massive scale. Christine Middleton Webinar Live webinar: Cryogenic Raman imaging and spectroscopy This presentation will describe cryogenic Raman imaging before providing application examples that demonstrate its ability to take molecular characterization right to the edge of absolute zero, with full polarization control and in high magnetic fields.

We need new instruments to measure pollution and new ways to reduce it. Because the crime rate is rising so rapidly, we require new methods of detection and deterrence. Albert V. Crewe Webinar Live Webinar: Simulating Metamaterials with COMSOL Multiphysics® Metamaterials and metasurfaces have received an increasing amount of interest in academia and industry over the past twenty years. This is because specifically designed metamaterials can control electromagnetic waves in previously unprecedented ways. This degree of electromagnetic control goes beyond what is possible when using conventional materials. In this webinar we will cover the basics of metamaterials and metasurfaces and demonstrate how their behavior can be simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics®. Register now. Early-career Q&A: Startup cofounder Danielle Wuchenich The former NASA physicist's experiences in the laboratory inspired her and colleagues to develop versatile instruments for the research community. Liam Conlon How a 17th-century painted rose lost its color Arsenic sulfide pigment chemically degraded over time and stripped the flower of visible details. R.
