How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

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

Physicists have proposed a way to extract the internal quantum states of electron wave packets by analyzing how those packets ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured “dark points” inside light waves that appear to ...

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 ...

Abstract: Indexing Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) diffraction patterns is a critical step in materials characterization. Despite the manually intensive indexing process, work related to ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

When looking through a microscope, the level of detail that is visible isn't just about how much we magnify, but is actually determined by resolution. Resolution refers to the smallest distance ...

New diffraction phenomenon of acoustic waves. A novel asymmetric diffraction has been achieved using a nano-patterned array of ferromagnets. This demonstration arises from a unique interaction between ...
