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 ...

Quantum physics tell us that even massive particles can behave like waves, as if they could be in several places at once. This phenomenon is typically proven in the diffraction of a matter wave at a ...

(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 ...

When a sample fluoresces during a powder x-ray diffraction (XRD) experiment, the resulting errors in the quantitative results may render the experiment meaningless. Fluorescence is especially common ...

People keep searching for “burning laser hacks,” but that’s a fast way to get hurt or start a fire. This video breaks down ...
