Adamantane, the smallest diamondoid molecule with a symmetrical cage, contains two distinct carbon sites, CH and CH${}_2$. The ionization/excitation of the molecule leads to the cage opening and strong structural reorganization. While theoretical predicti...

The photon–ion merged-beams technique for photoabsorption studies of ionized nanoparticles with synchrotron radiation is introduced. As an example, recent results from photoionization and photofragmentation of the endohedral fullerene ions Lu₃ ${\mathrm{N}}_{}^{}$...

(1) Background: Fragmentation after double and triple photoionization of the CCl₄ molecule in the valence, Cl 2p, and C 1s regions have been reported; (2) Methods: We have used photoion-photoion (PIPICO) coincidence technique combined with synchrotro...

The acceleration characteristics of fragments generated from explosively-driven cylindrical shells are important issues in warhead design. However, there is as yet no reasonable theory for predicting the acceleration process of a specific metallic sh...

Egyptian Faience, a revolutionary innovation in ancient ceramics, was used for crafting various objects, including amulets, vessels, ornaments, and funerary figurines, like shabtis. Despite extensive research, many aspects of ancient shabti productio...

To exploit the optoelectronic properties of silicon nanostructures (SiNS) in real devices, it is fundamental to study the ultrafast processes involving the photogenerated charges separation, migration and lifetime after the optical excitation. Ultraf...

Rhodoliths (from Greek etymology meaning red + stone) are spheroidal accretions composed of various types of crustose coralline red algae that dwell in relatively shallow waters where sunlight allows for photosynthesis. Unlike most other kinds of alg...
