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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
