When last we saw [xoreaxeax], he had built a lens-less optical microscope that deduced the structure of a sample by recording the diffraction patterns formed by shining a laser beam through it. At the ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not randomly, but in a coordinated rhythm, twisting and untwisting in sync like ...

Is it possible to 3d print a diffraction pattern? Martin Lewis issues warning over using debit cards Russell Crowe details health woes as he reveals the secret behind his 26kg transformation Mona has ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

For better understanding of far-field diffraction patterns obtained in coherent X-ray diffraction I wrote a simple stand-alone application for laptops with built-in web cams. It allows to see coherent ...

Is this real life? Is this just fantasy? A growing number of scientists are suggesting that the idea that we are all living in a simulation may not be completely far-fetched. Simulation theory is the ...

Abstract: Understanding materials properties depends largely on the ability to determine its components, and in particular its mineral phases. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful tool for ...
