Quantum physics overturned classical ideas by showing that matter behaves very differently at the smallest scales. One of its most surprising discoveries was wave-particle duality, the idea that ...

Is it possible to 3d print a diffraction pattern? Martin Lewis issues warning over using debit cards Russell Crowe details health woes as he reveals the secret behind his 26kg transformation Mona has ...

ABSTRACT: In 1905, Einstein established relativity under the condition of denying the absolute space-time valid in Newtonian mechanics. In those days, the quantum theory was also established by ...

Ptychography is an area-by-area scanning method that uses constant, coherent illumination to scan a region of a sample in several adjacent and overlapping locations. The dispersed radiation is ...

One longstanding problem has sidelined life-saving drugs, stalled next-generation batteries, and kept archaeologists from identifying the origins of ancient artifacts. For more than 100 years, ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

A simple and beautiful pattern occurs when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon is called the moiré effect, which looks pretty and has significant ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Tokyo, Japan – One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, ...
