Atoms (blue) shoot out of parallel barrels of an atom beam collimator. Lasers (pink) can manipulate the exiting atoms for desired effects. Atomic beam collimators are mostly found in physics labs, ...

(Nanowerk News) To a non-physicist, an "atomic beam collimator" may sound like a phaser firing mystical particles. That might not be the worst metaphor to introduce a technology that researchers have ...

April 23 (UPI) --Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have managed to build a cascading silicon peashooter -- a smaller, more precise atomic beam collimator. The technology could be used ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd has supplied two reflective beam collimators to a leading European supplier of high precision optics to military and defence contractors. Reflective beam collimators are mirror ...

Gaggione is focussing on narrower beams with two acrylic collimators and a set of radial beam masks. LLC22R (pictured) is a 16mm collimator claimed to achieve ±4.45° (8.9° FWHM) and 34.2cd/lm with ...

Atomic beams conjure fantasies of gigantic Space Force canons. But there are real tiny atomic beams that shoot out of newly engineered collimators, a kind of tiny silicon peashooter, that could land ...
