For thousands of years, thinkers argued about whether light is made of particles or waves. At the beginning of the 20th ...

THE experimental results reported in a previous communication 1 confirm the existence of several maxima for the second- and the third-order diffraction ... when the sound wave-length is small ...

Electrons shot through a crystal could be made to diffract like light waves passing through slats in a blind, or sea waves entering a narrow harbor. Electron diffraction was revolutionary not just ...

The software ReciPro makes various crystallographic calculations, visualizes a crystal structure, simulates a diffraction pattern and high-resolution TEM image, indexes diffraction spots, plots ...

The researchers theorize that these far-off remnants could either be deposits of silica-rich material that have hung around ...

Key takeawaysComputational microscopy has rapidly advanced in the last quarter-century, enabling researchers to visualize the ...

diffraction and interference, reflection, refraction, dispersion, and simple geometric optics. The course also includes an introduction to oscillation and wave analysis using Fourier and Wavelet ...

For a long time, scientists have been trying to devise ways to study a special type of light wave called plasmonic waves. These are ripples of electron oscillations that travel along the surface ...

Recently, a group of researchers has uncovered a profound connection between two fundamental quantum physics concepts: the ...

There you have a nice spectrum of colors, with red being longer wavelengths and violet being shorter. This shows that white ...

Looking at a distant galaxy means looking back in time.
