(Nanowerk News) To design and improve energy storage materials, smart devices, and many more technologies, researchers need to understand their hidden structure and chemistry. Advanced research ...
Recent scientific advancements have opened new opportunities for the close observation of physical phenomena. Researchers at University of Cambridge and University of Newcastle recently introduced a ...
It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...
X-ray diffraction methods lie at the foundation of materials science. Determination of the crystal structures of natural minerals and, later, of crystals grown in the laboratory led to our ...
What is Electron Backscatter Diffraction (EBSD)? Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD), also known as backscatter Kikuchi diffraction (BKD), is a powerful characterization technique used to analyze ...
Flat lenses offer a way to minimize the optical aberrations and astigmatisms that conventional spherical lenses can be prone to, and can potentially open up new applications that traditional lens are ...
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 ...
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pryzm Labs Inc. is pleased to announce the grant of US Patent No. US 9569683 B2 for a removably attachable optical enhancement assembly for use with an image-capturing device ...
