Trips to synchrotron facilities could become a thing of the past for some researchers thanks to a new laboratory-scale ...

Resonantly tunable quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) are high-performance laser light sources for a wide range of spectroscopy ...

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 ...

Electron diffraction was revolutionary not just for fundamental physics, but led to the development of cutting-edge technology such as the electron microscope. The wave-particle duality was ...

(Credit: Tirole et al., Nature Physics, 2024) The diffraction in this case occurs in the temporal domain, creating frequencies in the frequency spectrum when a separate laser applies a brief ...

The University of Michigan’s ZEUS is now the country’s most powerful with pulses lasting just 25 quintillionths of a second.

PH 1110 - College Physics I An overview of basic principles of kinematics, dynamics, elasticity, fluids, heat, thermodynamics, mechanical waves, and interference and diffraction of mechanical waves.

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 ...

Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a new method to measure helium atom diffraction with microscopic spatial resolution. This method, outlined in ...
