Adding a Schottky junction to certain crystals can turn them into piezoelectric or pyroelectric crystals, even if they were unaffected by deformation or heat before, according to the the University of ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have developed a tabletop accelerator that produces nuclear fusion at room temperature, providing confirmation of an earlier experiment conducted at the ...

In 2014, LASER COMPONENTS expanded its infrared detector range to include pyroelectric devices. Our Pyro Group manufactures both current and voltage mode devices at our state of the art facility in ...

A startup company is developing a flat-panel source of x-rays that could help make the imaging technique portable. The company’s panels are made using techniques commonplace in the semiconductor ...

IN some simple demonstration experiments using liquid air we repeated many of the interesting observations reported by L. Bleekrode 1 and by Miss M. E. Maurice 2 on the demonstration of electric lines ...

LASER COMPONENTS is a world leading manufacturer of pyroelectric detectors. From our research and production facility in Arizona we supply customers all over the world with these robust thermal ...

A tabletop atomic accelerator at Rennselaer Polytechnic Institute produces nuclear fusion at room temperature, researchers claim. The device, which uses two opposing crystals to generate a powerful ...

A device that could fit in your lab-coat pocket uses nuclear fusion, and just a little heat, to produce neutrons. The advantages in simplicity and portability over conventional neutron generators ...
