Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of Vienna answers this question with a resounding yes. In the journal Nature, ...

The Central Board of Secondary Education, CBSE will conduct the class 12 Physics examination on February 20. The exam will be conducted in a single shift between 10:30am and 1:30pm. The theory exam ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

This series of papers deals with the description and visualization of mathematical functions used to describe a powder pattern. Accompanying each part is a collection of user-friendly, interactive and ...

Implicit periodic structure in phase-only holograms will result in many diffraction orders in the diffraction field. We analyzed the diffraction pattern from a phase gratings point of view and proved ...

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) has been a powerful tool in metallurgy for over 100 years [1,2]. Despite the misleading name, X-ray powder diffraction is used for analysis of more than just powder: it ...

The role of residual stress is critical, particularly for machine tools demanding accuracy below 1 µm. Although minor stresses are subjected to a tiny area, the applied force can cause devastating ...
