Figure 1: Geometry for X-ray diffraction from the asymmetric \(\overline{2}\)02 crystal planes of Ge[001]. Figure 2: Time-resolved measurement of the \(\overline{2}\)02 diffraction following laser ...

Scientists have demonstrated that a bent silicon crystal can bend the paths of focused, very energetic electron beams much more than magnets used today. The method could be of interest for particle ...

A laser light beam passes between a loudspeaker-reflector array that creates a grating of air. The laser beam interacts with this grating and is deflected without contact. Using a novel method, beams ...

Basically, the trick with laser deflections is to shine your beam at right angles to the path of the laser bolt, then deflect the beam in the same direction that the laser bolt is traveling- if you ...

Laser beams can be used to precisely measure an object's position or velocity. Normally, however, a clear, unobstructed view of this object is required - and this prerequisite is not always satisfied.

Hats off to [Paul Brooking] as he shows off his homemade mass spectrometer in two recent videos you can see below. The first video demonstrates that the device works. The second video shows details ...
