This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

The collective response of charged particles to intense fields is intrinsic to plasma accelerators and radiation sources, relativistic optics and many astrophysical phenomena. Here we show that a ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, researchers have detected a previously unknown quantum force capable of bending light in ...

Researchers observe metal 3D printing dislocations in real-time - tracking the printing process with X-ray diffraction.

In 1967 the Russian physicist Victor Veselago predicted the existence of a material with a negative index of refraction, which he termed “left-handed.” He concluded that in the presence of such a ...

Fundamental diffraction physics says that a larger aperture improves both resolution and penetration. However, aperture size has historically been limited by system complexity and unknown benefit in ...

A new X-ray diffraction technique that works on single organic molecules has been demonstrated by an international team of researchers. The team hopes that, with further development, the method could ...

Quantum mechanics theory predicts that, in addition to exhibiting particle-like behavior, particles of all sizes can also ...

A study led by University of Oxford and Brookhaven National Laboratory researchers has uncovered how exposure to hydrogen ...

Although electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was first discovered by Kikuchi in 1928, its potential for microstructural characterization became fully realized only after the technique was ...

Coaching appointments will be available beginning in week 2 of the fall semester. Please make an appointment using the link below. One-on-one appointments between students and physics coaches offer ...
