One of my pet topics here on Ars is microscopy. This may be a case of objective envy, but I like to think that it is just a case of admiring work in a related field. In any case, what I often ...

In this case, given the diffraction pattern of the electron, the physicists reconstructed the size and shape of the molecule -- that is, the locations of the constituent atoms' nuclei and the ...

Diffraction patterns were discovered for atoms, but they used gratings much larger than what could be found in crystals, as it was believed the high energy of these atoms would damage crystal ...

Diffraction patterns, generated using X-ray pulses of only picosecond duration, reveal the motion of individual atoms as iodine molecules dissociate, then recombine, in solution.

From their X-ray diffraction pattern of beryl (above), the Braggs described the structure of the hexagonal crystal’s silicon and oxygen atoms. Internet Archive Book Images of Flickr ...

The team discovered strong indications of such a pattern using computer simulations to see what would happen if prime numbers were treated like a string of atoms subjected to X-rays. In work published ...

Then, it predicts the arrangement of atoms within the box. For each diffraction pattern, the model generates several possible structures, which can be tested by feeding the structures into a model ...

Antimony is widely used in the production of materials for electronics, as well as metal alloys resistant to corrosion and ...

The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns ... This new design breaks the mold by positioning these meta-atoms in a more complex, quasicrystal pattern.

Wiggling atoms switch the electric polarization of crystals Date: April 12, 2018 Source: Forschungsverbund Berlin Summary: A time-resolved x-ray experiment now elucidates that tiny atomic ...

Using a clever laser technique, scientists have squished pairs of atoms closer together than ever before, revealing some truly mind-boggling quantum effects. Skip to main content Open menu Close menu ...
