The nonrepeating Smith hat tile created twisting, pinwheel-like light patterns that ordinary quasicrystals do not produce.
Researchers have found that an aperiodic structure based on ‘Smith hat’ showed different diffraction behaviors from those ...
The “hat” tile is a mathematical wonder. Discovered by amateur mathematician David Smith in 2022, it can be used to cover every square inch of an endless bathroom floor (or any other surface) ...
In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns that can deform and melt, opening new pathways for neuromorphic computing and ...
Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has been pushed even further. For the first time, researchers have observed ...
His research showed that plasma around the pulsar bends and spreads electromagnetic waves through diffraction, helping form the pattern. Now, by adding Einstein's theory of gravity into the model, he ...
X-ray diffraction (XRD) is a powerful non-destructive analytical technique used to evaluate crystalline materials and determine their structural properties. As one of the most widely used ...
Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...
They say seeing is believing but our understanding of chemical systems predominantly depends on second-hand observations and measurements. A colour change can suggest that a reaction has occurred, NMR ...
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 ...
