There has been a surprise discovery of ‘significant’ refraction of gamma rays which opens the door to nuclear photonics and the use of high energetic light beams to investigate the atomic nucleus.

Until now, it has been extremely tedious to perform measurements with high sensitivity and high spatial resolution using X-ray light in the tender energy range of 1.5 -- 5.0 keV. Yet this X-ray light ...

The experimental foundation of femtochemistry 1 is time-resolved pump–probe spectroscopy, which has been closely linked to the rapid development of ultrafast laser technology in the infrared (IR), ...

Driven by the demand for smaller and smaller consumer products and semiconductor devices, manufacturers need thin planar optics for a host of applications. This means material and optics manufacturers ...

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GigOptix Inc. (OTCBB: GGOX), announced today that they have successfully demonstrated error-free 10 Gb/s optical links over 100m of multi-mode fiber (MMF) operating ...

When Röntgen discovered X-rays in 1895, he immediately searched for a means to focus them 4,5. On the basis of uncertain observations of slight refraction in prisms, he stated that the index of ...
