For years, the standard way to study protein structure was to form a crystal and study the way that crystal diffracts X-rays. However, some proteins are difficult or even impossible to crystalize.

The result is a dynamic grating that angularly diffracts incoming light just like a physical Bragg grating etched into a waveguide. Because the grating is continuously moving, the output light has ...

For example, a series of thousands of scored lines in a glass plate diffracts light into a rainbow of colors. Lines of data pits on a CD give the same effect. See diffraction. THIS DEFINITION IS ...

The Laue method utilizes a beam of coherent radiation focused on a fixed single crystal. When the Bragg angle θ is fixed for every set of planes in the crystal, and each set picks out and diffracts ...

Ultrafast photonics is the study of light and its interaction with matter on short timescales, typically less than a picosecond. This includes investigating processes that occur in atoms and ...

The short scientific explanation is this: Light hits the meat and diffracts into this rainbow color due to the properties of ...

With monochromators, polychromatic light enters via a fixed port, such as a slit or optical fiber. Inside the monochromator, a dispersive element, grating, crystal prism, or mirror diffracts the light ...

Blue light additionally diffracts funny in your eyeball — we’re sure you’ve noticed the strange appearance of blue LEDs and UV lasers. Add together tired drivers and glare-inducing ...

This target gives many scanners fits, as the thick glass mount diffracts the light a fair bit, and also leaves the pattern offset by nearly a half of a millimeter from the normal position of the ...

This approach is also referred to as“diffractive imaging” because the light reflected by the sample“diffracts” freely in space towards a camera. We reconstruct the sample image from the ...
