... On Earth the first one exploits the inertial confinement: high intensity LASER pulses compress atoms and the nuclei can overcome the Coulomb barrier. This kind of project is carried on for istance in USA with the National Ignition Facility. The second way applies a suitable magnetic configuration. A ...

... is the product of the speed of light and energy density and that points in the direction of propagation. The Poynting vector thus describes the flow of energy density u at the speed of light, just as we would expect for energy carried by electromagnetic waves. Therefore electromagnetic energy flows ...

... silicon have dominated the industry since their development in 1954[2]. In recent years, polycrystalline devices based on materials such as copper indium diselenide (CIS) have gained increased attention from the scientific community. Unlike silicon, these materials may be made into light-weight thin ...

... A 1 meter diameter flat is being tested using a Ritchey Common test at an angle of incidence of 45°. A Frankenian widget is being used to measure the distance between the S and T foci and hence determine the radius of curvature of the so called flat. While we do not study Frankenian widgets in this ...

Surface Acoustic Waves at Ferromagnetic Piezoelectric Interfaces

... In 1885 Lord Rayleigh1 described an acoustic wave phenomenon which today plays an important role in electronic devices such as band-pass filters and in seismology. He described a surface acoustic wave (SAW), today known as a Rayleigh wave, which is a wave that propagates along the surface of an isot ...

Thomas Young (scientist)



Thomas Young (13 June 1773 – 10 May 1829) was an English polymath and physician. Young made notable scientific contributions to the fields of vision, light, solid mechanics, energy, physiology, language, musical harmony, and Egyptology. He ""made a number of original and insightful innovations""in the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs (specifically the Rosetta Stone) before Jean-François Champollion eventually expanded on his work. He was mentioned by, among others, William Herschel, Hermann von Helmholtz, James Clerk Maxwell, and Albert Einstein. Young has been described as ""The Last Man Who Knew Everything"".
