One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

The SACLA free-electron laser facility, where the experiment on the diffraction of ultra-short X-ray pulses on crystalline silicon samples was carried out. When we illuminate something, we usually ...

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, ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) is often referred to as the gold standard of sample characterisation, offering three-dimensional structure of both molecules and their crystalline packing, ...
