Article Abstract
Acceleration and manipulation of electron bunches underlie most electron and X-ray devices used for ultrafast imaging and spectroscopy. New terahertz-driven concepts offer orders-of-magnitude improvements in field strengths, field gradients, laser synchronization and compactness relative to conventional radio-frequency devices, enabling shorter electron bunches and higher resolution with less infrastructure while maintaining high charge capacities (pC), repetition rates (kHz) and stability. We present a segmented terahertz electron accelerator and manipulator (STEAM) capable of performing multiple high-field operations on the 6D-phase-space of ultrashort electron bunches. With this single device, powered by few-micro-Joule, single-cycle, 0.3 THz pulses, we demonstrate record THz-acceleration of >30 keV, streaking with <10 fs resolution, focusing with >2 kT/m strength, compression to ~100 fs as well as real-time switching between these modes of operation. The STEAM device demonstrates the feasibility of THz-based electron accelerators, manipulators and diagnostic tools enabling science beyond current resolution frontiers with transformative impact.

Strontium stannate nanorods (SrSnO NRs) were synthesized in the present study via a green, sustainable, and cheap method with leaf extract from Juniperus communis L. UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) were performed to investigate the SrSnO NRs. The particle size distribution (PSD) of SrSnO NRs characterized by using dynamic light scattering (DLS) analysis.

One-dimensional zeolites have distinct pore topologies for shape-selective catalysis, yet their performance in conventional reactions is frequently compromised by severe diffusion limitations. Creating opportunities to employ one-dimensional (1D) zeolites in catalytic applications requires advanced synthesis methods to design materials with ultrasmall diffusion path lengths. In this study, we show that the postsynthesis modification of ZSM-23 (MTT) using a protocol analogous to the generation of finned zeolites dramatically improves its mass transport properties.

In this study, we propose a method for generating intense single attosecond pulses through the interaction between a circularly polarized (CP) laser and a capacitor target. Simulations demonstrate that once the capacitor is fully charged, the stored electrostatic energy can facilitate the formation of the isolated electron bunch while significantly boosting its longitudinal momentum.

Cellulose nanocellulose (CNPs) is a virtual inexhaustible source of feedstock meeting the increasing demand for green, biocompatible products and ideal candidates for nanocomposites preparation for various application such as in packaging, biomedical devices, electronics, water treatment, energy storage devices and also in electronics application. However, integration of CNPs based nanocomposite into nanofluid application has received little attention which presents a clear research gap. As a result, this study used a bio-based functionalized sodium carboxymethyl nanocellulose (ACNPs) synthesis from oil palm empty fruit bunch (OPEFB) as a template, to synthesize hybrid nanocomposites with metal oxide (MONPs) at varying ACNP-to-MONP weight ratio.

The EuPRAXIA project is a European initiative aimed at developing groundbreaking, ultra-compact accelerator research infrastructures based on novel plasma acceleration concepts. The EuPRAXIA@SPARC_LAB facility, located in the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics-Frascati National Laboratory, will be the first operating Free Electron Laser facility of EuPRAXIA, based on an accelerator module driven by an electron bunch driver. The Free Electron Laser will produce ultra-short photon pulses in the soft X-ray region.
