Positronium shouldn't last long enough to be interesting. It's an "atom" assembled from an electron and its antimatter twin — ...

Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

2D-XRD, or two-dimensional X-ray diffraction, is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic and molecular structure of crystalline materials at the nanoscale. It provides detailed ...

Fundamentals of electron diffraction -- Relation between crystal lattice, stereographic projection and reciprocal lattice -- Indexing polycrystalline and single-crystal patterns -- Orientation ...

(Nanowerk News) Turning up the intensity of x-ray beams used to probe the atomic structures of materials can actually reduce the intensity of x-rays scattered from the material, a RIKEN-led team has ...

Single-crystal diffraction was invented 100 years ago by Max von Laue. It has since become a workhorse technique for chemists to determine the structures of organometallic complexes and other ...
