The photograph, taken in visible light, made it possible to observe for the first time the tiny plasma vortices that had been ...

In a significant collaboration, high-quality powder diffraction data is being collected, enhancing the understanding of APIs ...

Researchers at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering have developed a new approach to nanoscale 3D printing ...

A shape that captured worldwide attention for solving a decades-old mathematical puzzle has returned to the spotlight. While ...

Physicists at CU Boulder have demonstrated a new kind of vacuum ultraviolet laser that is 100 to 1,000 times more efficient than existing technologies of its kind. The researchers say the device could ...

High harmonic generation (HHG) sources in the extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) have been successfully used in a variety of nondestructive, nanometer-scale, quantitative imaging and metrology applications.

Peacock feathers are greatly admired for their bright iridescent colors, but it turns out they can also emit laser light when dyed multiple times, according to a paper published in the journal ...

Isabella Mombrini, product specialist at Biologic, explains how lithium-ion batteries are not without their limitations and face various degradation mechanisms that can impact their performance and ...

Because of the neutron’s special properties, neutron diffraction may be considered one of the most powerful techniques for structure determination of crystalline and related matter. Neutrons can be ...

When first introduced, single-photon counting detectors reshaped crystallography at synchrotrons. Their fast readout speed enabled, for example, shutter-less data collection and fine slicing of the ...

Structural characterization is crucial to understanding protein function. Compared with X-ray diffraction methods, electron crystallography can be performed on nanometer-sized crystals and can provide ...

I learned in October 2022’s Breakthrough that the spikes of stars in high-power photos are called diffraction spikes. Why do they appear as two crosses at 45 degrees to each other? The diffraction ...
