Achromatic fresnel optics for wideband extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray imaging

Article Abstract:

The achromatic Fresnel optical system for extreme-ultraviolet and X-ray radiation, consisting of a Fresnel zone plate with a refractive lens with opposite chromatic aberration, delivers a resolution comparable to the Fresnel plates delivering the highest resoultion in the entire electromagnetic specturm but add two or more orders of magnitude in spectral bandwidth. .

Contributions of microbial biofilms to ecosystem processes in stream mesocosms

Article Abstract:

Research points out that the physical and chemical microhabitat is changed by the microbial biofilms resulting in the creation of ecosystem processes in long stream mesocosoms. Results reveal that biofilm growth increases hydrodynamic transient storage by 300% and suspended particle retention by 120%.

It's a knockout

Article Abstract:

During collisions between nuclei, protons and neutrons might be pushed out of the nucleus. Demonstration on the two-proton knockout is illustrated, and opening of a new route for the creation of neutron-rich systems for study is highlighted.
