In a world where technologies are constantly developing, physicists have taken a step to a new era in science. The new camera with the ability to open the shutter in a trillion fraction of a second opened the door to the nuclear world, allowing you to fix the incredibly fast processes that were previously invisible to science.
The new generation chamber created by physicists is able to take pictures with a speed that exceeds ordinary digital cameras 250 million times. The shutter opens in one trillion fraction of a second allows you to observe the movement of atoms that are in constant motion due to vibration or temperature changes. This was made possible by the new technology called VSPDF, a function of distribution of nuclear pairs with variable shutter. Previously, to see such fast phenomena, physicists had to use specialized methods or limit their research to much slower processes. Now, with a neutron camera, scientists have the opportunity to record even the smallest changes in the dynamic disorder of atoms - a phenomenon, which is characterized by chaotic movements of atoms in the material. This phenomenon is important for understanding how materials respond to temperature changes or mechanical impact. VSPDF technology uses neutrons instead of the usual light particles to fix atomic structures. This allows you to obtain accurate images of moving atoms, as neutrons can penetrate the materials and interact directly with atoms. With this method, scientists can measure changes in the energy and location of the atoms, observing how they change over time under the influence of various external factors. Due to this speed of the praise of the physics chamber, they were able to separate the dynamic mess, which is responsible for the thermal and mechanical properties of the material, from static disorder - chaotic movements of atoms in the absence of external influence. This allows you to explore what is happening with the material at the deepest level. The first objects for observations were germanium telurides, materials that have special properties for the conversion of heat into electricity or, conversely, electricity in cooling. Studies have shown that this material retains its structure even at high temperatures, but with increasing temperature, atoms begin to demonstrate more movements, which leads to a change in thermal energy. Understanding these dynamic processes is of great importance for the further development of thermoelectric materials. The study of such structures will allow you to create more efficient materials and equipment that use thermoelectric effects to improve energy technologies.
This revolutionary camera gives scientists new opportunities for the study of fleeting phenomena at the atomic level. Thanks to new physics technology, they can reveal hidden effects in materials that have remained unaddressed by this time. This discovery not only deepens our understanding of materials, but also hopes for the creation of new, more effective technologies in various fields of science and industry.
