The Sun has captivated humanity for millennia. And yet, despite being our closest star, studying it is not easy. Its blinding ...

Getting your first telescope should feel exciting, not frustrating. If I avoid a few common beginner mistakes, I can turn ...

diffpy.morph is a Python software package designed to increase the insight researchers can obtain from measured data including diffraction data and atomic pair distribution functions (PDFs) in a model ...

Abstract: Nondiffracting beams have brought exciting opportunities to control ultra-fast laser processing of transparent materials. This tutorial will review the basics of non-diffracting beams, their ...

X-ray crystallography is a technique used to reveal how the atoms of crystalline solids are arranged, relying upon the diffraction of X-ray radiation by the periodic atomic structure. Its continual ...

Abstract: A broad class of imaging modalities involve the resolution of an inverse-scattering problem. Among them, three-dimensional optical diffraction tomography (ODT) comes with its own challenges.

RECENTLY diffraction patterns have been produced in this laboratory1 by using ultrasonic waves of frequencies higher than 100 Mc./sec. At such high frequencies, the patterns show some interesting ...

Within each content area, there are one or more tutorials. Each tutorial consists of lessons. Each lesson should be a page detailing the concept being taught, along with sample code. Lesson and page ...
