Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

Fundamentals of electron diffraction -- Relation between crystal lattice, stereographic projection and reciprocal lattice -- Indexing polycrystalline and single-crystal patterns -- Orientation ...

Single-crystal diffraction was invented 100 years ago by Max von Laue. It has since become a workhorse technique for chemists to determine the structures of organometallic complexes and other ...

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

A laser beam is shone onto a ball bearing and a bright spot appears at the centre of the object’s shadow due to Fresnel diffraction. Place the laser on top of the lab jacks, making sure the laser is ...
