X-ray sources are vacuum tubes that use an electrostatic field to produce X-rays. They accelerate electrons to a high velocity and then suddenly stop them. X-ray tubes, as X-ray sources are sometimes ...

While we typically encourage hackers to make their own tools or machines when practical, x-ray machines don’t usually make that list. Despite the risk of radiation, [William Osman] has done just ...

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have now demonstrated a proof of concept method to deflect a potential Earthbound asteroid using a blast of X-rays. Actively protecting our planet from ...

X-ray crystallography is a technique that uses X-ray diffraction patterns to determine high-resolution, three-dimensional structures of molecules such as proteins, small organic molecules ...

We might be able to defend Earth from a future asteroid impact using something straight out of a sci-fi movie: a blast of X-rays. This pulse of X-ray radiation, produced by a nuclear explosion ...

The Linac Coherent Light Source in California fired an X-ray pulse that lasted only a few hundred billionths of a billionth of a second but carried nearly a terawatt of power ...

Moore’s experiments used a technique called X-ray scissors, which removed the skewing effect of friction and gravity for a few microseconds. The X-ray scissors allowed the model to create the ...

It’s over a century since X-rays were discovered and first allowed doctors to look inside a living human body. Today, the NHS carries out more than 22 million a year in England alone ...

They suggest the X-ray pulse from the outburst could vaporize rock off the asteroid's surface, resulting in a push that could steer a catastrophic strike away from Earth. In a new study ...

An X-ray pulse may be able to vaporize the surface of an asteroid and change its trajectory, according to a proof-of-concept paper published in Nature Physics. A laboratory experiment that mimics ...

After a veterinarian gave Stella, a chocolate Labrador, X-rays when the pup was brought to the clinic by her owners for not feeling well, everyone was shocked with what was discovered inside her ...
