Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

A new imaging technique uncovers how electronic patterns in quantum materials evolve unevenly across space and temperature.

Jordan Roach uses a Raman microscope to examine a sample of U3O8 affixed to carbon tape on an aluminum stub. Roach uses Raman ...

For a long time, it was thought that this [technique] required telescopes in space,” says John Mather, the Nobel ...

In this video I talk about diffraction gratings and how they work. I show you how you can use them to make diffraction ...

Semiconductor lithography is the most important technology in support of the modern world, forming the basis of manufacturing ...

Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the smallest scales. One of its most surprising discoveries was wave-particle duality, the idea that ...

Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The approach uses multiple sensors to collect raw light patterns independently, then ...

Article subjects are automatically applied from the ACS Subject Taxonomy and describe the scientific concepts and themes of the article. Since its inception, μLaue diffraction has been primarily used ...
