Scientists from the UK and China have developed a lateral-graded multilayer grating that addresses a key challenge in tender X-ray RIXS technique. Demonstrated at the I21 beamline in Diamond Light ...

Two slabs of boron nitride crystals are dynamically twisted with respect to each other. At certain angles, the incoming laser light can be efficiently converted to higher energy light, as a result of ...

Scientists at the X-ray free-electron laser SwissFEL have realized a long-pursued experimental goal in physics: to show how electrons dance together. The technique, known as X-ray four-wave mixing, ...

The Wordle word of the day on December 25 was prism, a word that feels almost unfairly elegant for something so relentlessly honest. A prism exists to intervene between appearance and understanding, ...

With an applied physics: optics degree, you’ll gain specialized expertise in optics, preparing you for diverse career opportunities in technology, research, and academia. Become who you’re meant to be ...

Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

In a discovery that blurs the line between biology and technology, scientists have found that heart-shaped clams use fiber optic–like structures to channel sunlight through their shells in much the ...
