Skoltech researchers and their colleagues have uncovered an intricate light manipulation mechanism likely used by microscopic ...

In 1976, Patrick Gallagher of Columbia University showed that the primes’ spacings look random over short intervals; longer strips are needed for their pattern to emerge. In the new diffraction ...

X-ray diffraction patterns are formed by interference. The incoming X-rays penetrate deeply into a crystal, but a tiny fraction is scattered by each atom.

Motivated by the hyperuniformity concept, which has attracted recent attention in physics and materials science, we show that the prime numbers in certain large intervals possess unanticipated order ...

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.

The combined diffraction pattern shows multiple sets of diffraction fringes from the normal diffraction pattern, but the relative intensity of the colours in each set of fringes is modulated by the ...

These waves arrive at different points on the aperture interfere to produce a diffraction pattern around each point in the image. If the diffraction maximum of one point lies within its neighbour’s ...

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) Transient ...
