Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

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 ...

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 spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

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 ...

Researchers at University of Tsukuba have achieved a significant breakthrough by employing scatterometry, a technique ...

Researchers at Harvard University and Jiangsu University developed a technique for not only identifying infected cells, but also tracking the infection over time as the cells developed. They published ...

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 ...
