Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

In 2026, the KATRIN experiment will be upgraded with the TRISTAN detector, capable of recording the full tritium β-decay spectrum with unprecedented statistics. By bypassing the main spectrometer and ...

The inside of giant planets can reach pressures more than one million times the Earth's atmosphere. As a result of that intense pressure, materials can adopt unexpected structures and properties.

IIIF provides researchers rich metadata and media viewing options for comparison of works across cultural heritage collections. Visit the IIIF page to learn more. This echelon diffraction grating came ...

For the first time, researchers can study the microstructures inside metals, ceramics and rocks with X-rays in a standard laboratory without needing to travel to a particle accelerator, according to ...

Spectroscopy seems simple: split a beam of light into its constituent wavelengths with a prism or diffraction grating, and measure the intensity of each wavelength. The devil is in the details, though ...

This article explains the "Raman Concatenation", a measurement approach that can overcome several trade-offs. In general, fluorescence impacts many Raman measurements, necessitating the adoption of ...
