Researchers have generated high-quality atom diffraction data from graphene, which could lead to new ways to measure surface interactions. A beam of neutral atoms striking a material can produce a ...

A continuous-wave laser study finds strong third-order nonlinear optical responses in MEH-PPV and PBDB-T polymer solutions, ...

The authors discuss the valuable information that can be obtained from indexing and its applications in routine screening and analysis of solid forms. Crystal-structure determination using X-ray ...

Predictions of diffraction patterns for honeycomb photonic crystals were part of a comprehensive study of these structures that may be useful in nanoscale photonic devices. Physicists are seemingly ...

During a visit to Diamond Light Source, the UK’s national synchrotron science facility, on Friday 9th July, Prof. Venki Ramakrishnan, winner of the 2009 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, unveiled the World’s ...
