Scientists Bent Atoms In An Experiment Everyone Thought Was Impossible

Scientists have demonstrated that atoms can exhibit wave-like behavior, challenging long-held assumptions that experiments of this nature were impossible and opening new doors in quantum physics. The ...

Scientists Held an Extreme Atomic Experiment—and Challenged the Notions of What’s Possible

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

diffraction grating

Obviously the wavelength of a laser can’t be measured with a scale as large as that of a carpenter’s tape measure. At least not directly and that’s where a Compact Disc comes in. [Styropyro] uses a CD ...

Century-Old Challenge Of “Atomic Diffraction” Finally Solved Thanks To Graphene

For thousands of years, thinkers argued about whether light is made of particles or waves. At the beginning of the 20th ...
