An algorithm that enables a protein's molecular structure to be determined from the faintest of diffraction patterns could increase the potential of next-generation X-ray sources. The next few years ...

Distinguished for his pioneering studies in X-ray diffraction physics, especially for his development of the technique of X-ray topography, Andrew Lang will be greatly missed by many researchers for ...

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 ...

Light diffraction and interference are investigated. Unit 6 Segment H: Light: Diffraction and Interference Light diffraction and interference are investigated as we observe light going through single ...

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 ...

Understanding optical resolution is key in microscopy, highlighting the diffraction limit and innovations in super-resolution ...

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 ...
