Have you ever noticed that winter skies often seem more colorful and intense than those of other seasons? This palette, particularly visible during the cold months, is not just a ...

Even diffuse objects like clouds or sugar cubes cast shadows, because they’re disordered media that scatter light waves. But now, researchers at TU Wien and Utrecht University have found a way to ...

Neutron scattering is a powerful analytical technique that utilizes neutrons to probe the structure, dynamics, and properties of materials at the atomic and nanoscale level. It provides unique ...

Gail Adams had a wish for when she died. She wanted her ashes to be scattered in Norfolk, the city where she was born. As a Navy brat, Adams moved around growing up and lived most recently in ...

Rapid advances in nanotechnology and nucleic acid chemistry are turbocharging pharmaceutical pipelines, speeding the development of treatments for previously incurable medical conditions. These ...

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...

Brillouin scattering is seen as a natural hinderance in fiber optic cables. New developments in artificial Brillouin scattering could revolutionize circuits. By controlling how they operate, circuits ...

A range of different additives and extra layers could change the way a solar cell surface interacts with light, and thus improve its performance. Among these is light scattering, where sunlight hits ...

This article will outline how the different types of light scattering can be utilized in the characterization of vaccines. By quantifying multiple characteristics such as shape, size, molar mass and ...
