Simulations and experiments indicate that the low-density amorphous ice found on comets and icy moons is not, in fact, ...

A FEL creates X-rays by the rapid back-and-forth acceleration of fast-moving electron pulses using a series of magnets called an undulator. These X-rays are emitted at a narrow wavelength and then ...

After you’ve done that self-assessment and understand what you need, I advise you do “informational interviews”, which ...
