A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been discovered, paving the way for developing advanced communication ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap ...

Atom diffraction had so far been seen in reflection. The atoms were bounced off a surface that was etched to have a grating. The lines don’t need to be as thin as 10,000 times smaller than a ...

However, using an atom-thick layer of carbon atoms known as graphene, experts found that even after 100 hours under irradiation of an atom beam, the grating showed no damage and diffraction still ...

For thousands of years, thinkers argued about whether light is made of particles or waves. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists realized it was both: massless particles and waves.

Researchers have built a deep-ultraviolet microscope to study hard-to-analyze materials like diamond, offering a new way to probe their electronic and thermal properties at the nanoscale. This ...

Diamonds and similar materials have the quality to be transparent in visible and infrared light. To study the motion of ...
