When last we saw [xoreaxeax], he had built a lens-less optical microscope that deduced the structure of a sample by recording ...

Water in diesel fuel is one of the most common reasons for engine breakdown and its removal is vital for the efficient and safe operation of diesel engines, anywhere they are used. Therefore, fuel ...

A discovery could have a major impact on advancing smaller, cheaper, laser-driven particle accelerators -- and their potential applications. A discovery by University of Strathclyde researchers could ...

The idea of wavefront recording and reconstruction, known today as holography, was formulated by Gabor 1. His proof-of-principle experiment was done with the light of a high pressure mercury lamp; it ...

The same phenomenon was later confirmed for neutrons, helium atoms, and even large molecules, making matter-wave diffraction ...

DELILA (Development of Lithography Technology for Nanoscale Structuring of Materials Using Laser Beam Interference – European project) showed for the first time feature sizes of ~30nm for direct ...

The spectrum of laser technologies available to hackers has gradually widened from basic gas lasers through CO2 tubes, diode lasers, and now fiber lasers. One of the newer entries is the MOPA laser, ...

Experiments reveal that metallic nanoparticles thousands of atoms wide can exist in quantum superposition, providing a ...
