A movie of the microworld: Physicists create nanoparticle picture series
Manhattan KS (SPX) Apr 12, 2016
Think of it as a microscopic movie: A sequence of X-ray images shows the explosion of superheated nanoparticles. The picture series reveals how the atoms in these particles move, how they form plasma and how the particles change shape. The method of taking these pictures is a collaborative creation that involved Kansas State University researchers Artem Rudenko and Daniel Rolles, both assistant professors of physics. The movies help scientists understand interactions of intense laser light with ma ... read more
