A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

The study of acoustic wave scattering and diffraction in waveguide structures lies at the forefront of both theoretical and applied acoustics. It encompasses the intricate processes by which sound ...

But scientists in China have developed a clever solution using the mathematics of nature—fractal geometry—to make car audio ...

Car enthusiasts will pay hundreds of dollars for stereo systems that will improve the sound quality in their cars. However, ...

SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 48, No. 1 (Feb., 1988), pp. 1-37 (37 pages) We derive an asymptotic partial differential equation which describes the diffraction of a weakly nonlinear high ...

Light scattering as the basis for size determination of many objects has been explored for a long time. It was Gustav Mie, author of the Mie Scattering Theory, who studied gold nanoparticles in ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 209, No. 1096 (Oct. 8, 1951), pp. 81-96 (16 pages) The radio waves from 'radio stars' may suffer ...

BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - In the midst of a foggy Thursday morning, an arc of white stretched above the horizon, catching the eye ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

X-ray techniques have been used for decades by authorities to prevent crime and keep people safe. Perhaps their most well-known use is for the detection of dangerous and banned items or substances, ...
