Transition-edge sensors (TESs) have emerged as a cornerstone in the development of high-resolution X‐ray microcalorimeters, combining superconducting phenomena with precise calorimetric techniques.

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

An update to technology more than a century old might be key to making the next big discovery in particle physics. This wiring diagram, drawn in 1994, is an early sketch of a concept that might help ...

A series of copper ridges nearly doubles the resolution of experimental X-ray sensors, enabling more precise identification of the X-ray "fingerprints" of different atoms, researchers at the National ...

Researchers have combined two tiny but powerful inventions on a single microchip, a cryogenic sensor and a micro-refrigerator. The combination offers the possibility of cheaper, simpler and faster ...
