Quasicrystals are intriguing materials with long-range atomic order that lack periodicity. It has been a longstanding ...

The study presents the first neutron diffraction evidence of antiferromagnetism occurring in a real QC, marking a significant step forward in QC research.

Neutron diffraction looks at samples at the atomic and molecular level, whereas small-angle neutron scattering allows researchers to view larger, nanometer-sized structures in samples.

THIS communication explains some experimental results published by Parkinson and Moyer 1,2* by proving that the wave amplitude associated with neutrons reflected from a lattice of vibrating ...

A theoretical astrophysicist from the University of Kansas may have solved a nearly two-decade-old mystery over the origins of an unusual "zebra" pattern seen in high-frequency radio pulses from the ...

Neutron stars can have a resounding impact around the universe. Scientists recently announced the first detection of gravitational waves created by two neutron stars smashing into each other ...

Definition: X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) is a powerful analytical technique used to characterize the atomic and molecular structure of a crystal. By measuring the angles and intensities of diffracted beams ...

What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...
