Solving the phase problem in x-ray diffraction
(PhysOrg.com) -- Nearly 100 years ago, in 1912, a paper by Max von Laue made it possible to use x-rays to study the structure of different crystalline substances. He won a Nobel Prize in 1914 for his work, but, even so, the ...
Soda can array revisited: It may not beat the diffraction limit after all
(Phys.org)—In 2011, scientists from the Institute Langevin in Paris built an array of 49 empty coke cans that resonate when exposed to an acoustic wave, causing the cans to produce sound similar to the way blowing across ...
Graphene produces more efficient transport of a semiconducting polymer film
The new wonder material graphene has fantastic properties, for example flexibility, transparency and high charge carrier mobility. A study by an international team led by David Barbero, assistant professor and group leader ...

World-leading microscopes take candid snapshots of atoms in their 'neighborhoods'
We can directly see the hidden world of atoms thanks to electron microscopes, first developed in the 1930s. Today, electron microscopes, which use beams of electrons to illuminate and magnify a sample, have become even more ...

Live mitochondria seen in unprecedented detail: photobleaching in STED microscopy overcome
Light microscopy is the only way in which we can look inside a living cell, or living tissues, in three dimensions. An electron microscope only gives a two-dimensional view, and the organic sample would quickly burn up due ...
