Materials containing multiple metal elements are important for various applications as the combination of different metal cations provides new or enhanced properties, which cannot be obtained through ...

X-ray diffraction measurements under laser-driven dynamic compression allow researchers to investigate the atomic structure of matter at hundreds of thousands of atmospheres of pressure and ...

The double-slit experiment, first performed by [Thomas Young] in 1801 provided the first definitive proof of the dual wave-particle nature of photons. A similar experiment can be performed that shows ...

Researchers from Tsinghua University have developed a new angle-resolved analysis method for ultrafast liquid electron diffraction, offering a route to retrieve more complete three-dimensional ...

Recent experimental findings from the research team led by Prof. Jianbo Hu at the Institute of Fluid Physics, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP), revealed partial dislocation-mediated plastic ...

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Non-ambient diffraction is a powerful tool for identifying the effects of temperature, humidity, pressure, or atmosphere on a sample. Materials exposed to non-ambient environments tend to have ...

4D STEM is currently used in many TEM projects and is for sure on every electron microscopist’s “must-watch” list. Recent advancements in TEM technology, particularly the hybrid-pixel direct electron ...

Back in 2010, crystallographer Tim Gruene heard a scientist from drugmaker Novartis say something that stuck with him. The pharmaceutical giant had amassed a collection of around 2 million small ...

This article is an extended version of the article “The double-slit experiment” that appeared in the September 2002 issue of Physics World (p15). It has been further extended to include three letters ...
