In this video I talk about diffraction gratings and how they work. I show you how you can use them to make diffraction ...

The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a ...

Jordan Roach uses a Raman microscope to examine a sample of U3O8 affixed to carbon tape on an aluminum stub. Roach uses Raman ...

Hertha Sponer (1895-1968) was a German physicist and quantum chemist, best known for her work in spectroscopy and her decades ...

Scientists have unveiled a new approach to ultra-secure communication that could make quantum encryption simpler and more ...

Research in microgravity offers unique insights into materials science, improving crystal formation and advancing the ...

Most laser sources produce Gaussian beams that diverge as they propagate. This natural spreading limits their effectiveness in applications that require light to remain concentrated over long ...

Pushing optical imaging below the diffraction limit usually requires complicated illumination schemes and still suffers from weak, unstable signals ...

The UK Ministry of Defence has confirmed that the DragonFire high-energy laser weapon will be installed on Royal Navy Type 45 ...

The experiments found that while lower PMSA additions improved the performance of the geocrete, higher substitutions reduced ...

Helical liquid crystals can reverse the 'handedness' of light through the application of ultralow electric fields.

Researchers have captured a bacterial enzyme in the act of encircling collagen and pulling a single strand through its ...
