Altermagnets are a newly recognized class of antiferromagnets whose magnetic structure behaves very differently from what is ...

What happens when a wave passes through some opening? It diffracts - or you like, you could say "bends". If the size of the opening is comparable to the wavelength of the wave, the bending can be ...

The diffraction spikes so familiar to us in space images are an intrinsic property of the telescope. Reflecting telescopes have two mirrors: a large primary and a smaller secondary. Light hits the ...

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 ...

In many industries, laser diffraction is used to perform routine particle size analysis. The power of laser diffraction is such that it has started to replace conventional techniques, such as sieving.

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...

Description: Electron diffraction patterns for single crystal and polycrystalline materials are displayed on a CRT screen. A Welch model 2639 'Electron Diffraction tube' is used in an experiment in ...

Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

Stars in the new images from the James Webb Space Telescope look sharper than they did before. And I’m not just talking about the image quality, which is astounding. I’m talking about the fact that ...
