Scattering takes place across the universe at large and miniscule scales. Billiard balls clank off each other in bars, the nuclei of atoms collide to power the stars and create heavy elements, and ...

Real-time capturing of nanoscale transformations within liquid environments remains a significant challenge, hindering real-time observation of dynamic processes essential for catalysis, nanoparticle ...

Imaging the structure and observing the dynamics of isolated proteins using single-particle X-ray diffractive imaging (SPI) is one of the potential applications of X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs).

Materials that contain the axial Higgs mode could serve as quantum sensors to evaluate other quantum systems and help answer persistent questions in particle physics Chestnut Hill, Mass. (6/8/2022) – ...

A new and surprising duality has been discovered in theoretical particle physics. The duality exists between two types of scattering processes that can occur in the proton collisions made in the Large ...

Schematics of the all-optical nonlinear Compton scattering experiment showing laser-driven electron acceleration, electron-laser collision, and Compton scattering to produce gamma rays. In a ...

DLS is a non-invasive method used to measure the average size and size distribution broadness of submicron particles in a suspension/dispersed in a liquid. DLS is suitable for particle size analysis ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Physicists have begun to explore the proton as if it were a subatomic planet. Cutaway maps display newfound details of the particle’s ...

New research looks at positron scattering from rare gas atoms encapsulated in carbon 60 to investigate quantum properties that can't be tested with electrons. Particle scattering is an important test ...

No one can question the impact of science on human civilization, and the importance of experimentation in science is equally undeniable. Some experiments confirm what we already know, others suggest a ...

Last year, the particle physicist Lance Dixon was preparing a lecture when he noticed a striking similarity between two formulas that he planned to include in his slides. The formulas, called ...

Small angle X-ray scattering, or SAXS, is an experimental method where the intensity of the scattered X-rays is measured as a function of the scattering angle. The information obtained in a SAXS ...
