Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

Positronium shouldn't last long enough to be interesting. It's an "atom" assembled from an electron and its antimatter twin — ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

One of the best known properties of light is that it diffracts, bending or spreading around objects that lie in its path. A familiar example is when a collimated beam of light passes through a small ...
