    Carbon Vapor and Gaseous Carbon

    Is it possible to maintain pure carbon gas at room temperature? Suppose I start with a vacuum chamber and allow a small amount of hot, gaseous carbon vapor inside it, but only enough so that it remains gaseous at normal room temperatures - is that possible to do? Where can I find formulas to let...

    Compton Effect and Transmutation

    Suppose you have some thin film of pure carbon graphite sitting on some metal, like iron. Now we start irradiating some EM energy on it the graphite, but at a specific frequency. Is it possible to select a frequency, and potentially some sort of spread/interference pattern to the EM energy...

    Best Common Folk Materials Slowing Light Down?

    Thats right logik, photons r just repeatedly absorbed and emitted by matter. For my case this is fine; I'm simple try to stuff as many photons n a space per unit time as possible. ZapperZ, thanks for the leads!

    Best Common Folk Materials Slowing Light Down?

    I'm aware that an Einstein-Bose Condensate can be made to slow EM energies to slow speeds but I really don't have the $$$ nor time to make a BEC. I also wouldn't be able to get the BEC shape in any form I need either. Therefore, what materials exist that can help me slow down some photons? I...

    Protecting Your Eyes in the Laser Lab: Tips and Precautions

    Suppose I have an arbitrary amount of diode lasers, all of identical construction and abilities. Assume I can determine/control the polarization of each diode beam. Does anyone know how I can increase the amount of photons in a single laser stream via combining all the diode beams without...
