This interference pattern appears in the shape of the orientation of the struts; these are the diffraction spikes we see. For example, in Hubble Space Telescope images, we typically see four ...

yet they could not directly measure its underlying diffraction pattern. In their new paper, they set out to continue their work in this area. Their study's underlying objective was to demonstrate ...

Certain diffraction patterns, including blocking all of the light source, can actually be used as a lens as the light bends around the blockage into the center of the shadow where there can be ...

If you pass a wave (like light) through a whole bunch of openings, you can a nice and clear diffraction pattern. Why? First, there is something you need to know about waves. If you have two waves ...

11 are inherently restricted to a single diffraction pattern from every object. To reconstruct the object, the Fourier phase has to be retrieved from this diffraction pattern alone. In two and ...

Dense Bragg peaks have been seen before, in the diffraction patterns of quasicrystals, those strange materials discovered in the 1980s with symmetric but nonrepeating atomic arrangements. In the ...

Trips to synchrotron facilities could become a thing of the past for some researchers thanks to a new laboratory-scale ...

Certain diffraction patterns, including blocking all of the light source, can actually be used as a lens as the light bends around the blockage into the center of the shadow where there can be ...

Figure 1: a) Stationary diffraction pattern of cBN powder, integrated over the Debye-Scherrer rings, measured with femtosecond x-ray pulses as a function of the diffraction angle 2θ. b ...

From this pattern – called a diffraction pattern – it is theoretically possible to calculate the exact arrangement of atoms in the sample. The challenge, however, is that this technique only ...
