Sir Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman and his student Nagendra Nath published a series of papers in 1936 on the diffraction of light by a liquid in the field of a high frequency sound wave. This was ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

Using a highly coherent positronium beam, the researchers observed clear diffraction patterns after transmission through a graphene film, confirming its wave-like behavior. One of the discoveries that ...

Crystallography is the science of analyzing the pattern produced by shining an X-ray beam through a material sample. A powder sample produces a different pattern than solid crystal. One longstanding ...

A new atom camera uses one ultracold rubidium atom to map light intensity and polarization with spatial resolution below 100 nanometers.

For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have performed a daring experiment using ...

A research group led by Assistant Professor Takafumi Tomita and Professor Kenji Ohmori at the Institute for Molecular Science, National Institutes of Natural Sciences, has developed a new microscopy ...
