A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...

Using ultrahigh-intensity x-ray beams can cause the intensity of diffraction patterns from samples to drop Figure 1: An x-ray diffraction pattern obtained from a ...

Three's company: interference patterns for one to four slits (expand for full image) A group of physicists in Austria has directed a beam of large molecules at a series of extremely narrow slits to ...

Dr. Thomas Hartmann and Dr. Sascha Correll, of STOE, are experts in the field of x-ray crystallography. AZoNano spoke to both of them about STOE's new piece of equipment; the INSITU HT2, how it can be ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode lasers, and now fiber lasers. One of the newer entries is the MOPA laser, ...

X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a technique in which the diffraction of X-rays by a sample of interest is analyzed. When used as a basic technique (X-ray powder diffraction), it can determine the ...
