IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...

The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap. This is diffraction - the spreading out of waves when they go through a gap, or past the edge of a barrier. The extent of the ...

It confirms that even under conditions of significant energy exchange, the coherence of matter waves can be preserved. Such findings redefine the limits of atomic diffraction, unlocking new ...

Several approaches are capable of beating the classical 'diffraction limit ... where evanescent waves have faded, cannot be far from that given by the well-known Abbe–Rayleigh rule, according ...

Atomic diffraction has long been a cornerstone of quantum research, offering insights into the wave-like nature of particles ... Like these kind of feel good stories? Get The Brighter Side ...

The goal of the current project is to open a new field of research by realizing the first diffraction experiments of atomic matter waves through crystalline 2D membranes like graphene. Such ...

Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

New research offering bendable sound waves that can reach only one set of ears could be the next tech revolution.
