A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously. Silicon nanofins are arranged in the Penrose tiling pattern as illustrated by the 2D color ...

New twist: a smeared out signal can transform into a soliton, depending on the laser powers and the twist angle of the optical moiré lattice. (Courtesy: Fangwei Ye) Moiré lattices — wherever they form ...

THE attention given, in this laboratory and elsewhere, to the effects produced by passing a beam of Röntgen radiation through crystals suggested to me that it might be of interest to examine the image ...

In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...
