Shining intense laser light onto a thin aluminium foil creates a relativistic plasma aperture—and diffraction. As a result, an electron beam is generated with a spatial structure that can be ...

An algorithm that enables a protein's molecular structure to be determined from the faintest of diffraction patterns could increase the potential of next-generation X-ray sources.

This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

According to the theory of diffraction, only a tiny amount of light can pass through a hole that is narrower than the wavelength of the light. Also, the light that is transmitted is diffracted in all ...

Researchers have developed a blueprint for weaving hopfions—complex, knot-like light structures—into repeating spacetime ...

Swept Synthetic Aperture Imaging Swept Synthetic Aperture Imaging Fundamental diffraction physics says that a larger aperture improves both resolution and penetration. However, aperture size has ...

This diffraction limit – which is associated with all positive-index optical components – means that the best resolution that is possible corresponds to about half of the incident wavelength of the ...

This webinar will provide an introduction to the EBSD technique, exploring the relationship between diffraction physics and crystallography.

To the recording studio to study interference and diffraction of sound waves. Unit 6 Segment D: Sound: Diffraction and Interference We head back to the recording studio to study interference and ...

Researchers at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (JGU) and the Helmholtz Institute Mainz (HIM) have developed a novel ...

A new version of the famous double-slit experiment showed that it's impossible to measure light as both a wave and a particle at the same time, thanks to quantum physics' uncertainty principle.

For his role in enhancing both the hardware and theory in the field known as neutron reflectometry, Majkrzak, who leads the Surfaces and Interfacial Science Team at the National Institute of ...
