The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously. Silicon nanofins are arranged in the Penrose tiling pattern as illustrated by the 2D color ...

A nanoscale optical device has been developed that allows independent control over the intensity and phase of light. By ...

Engineers built a nanoscale optical device that uses voltage to control light's phase and intensity, advancing quantum ...

THE attention given, in this laboratory and elsewhere, to the effects produced by passing a beam of Röntgen radiation through crystals suggested to me that it might be of interest to examine the image ...

Abstract Nonlinear intersubband polaritonic metasurfaces based on coupling of the intersubband nonlinear optical response of quantum-engineered ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

A nanophotonic device capable of independently controlling both the intensity and phase of light has been developed. By ...

A research team has successfully developed a novel platform for reconfigurable nonlinear optics based on ion-doped ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs). This allows for precise control over ...

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 ...

Crystallography is the term applied to the field which studies crystalline structures. Many crystalline structures exist in nature, such as gemstones and rocks. In the field of life sciences, however, ...
