A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

Researchers built a silver-grooved chip that channels laser energy into nanometer-spaced peaks, beating the diffraction limit and aiding light-matter studies.

Scientists recreated one of the most important experiments in the history of physics—but this time, they used antimatter instead of regular matter. All matter particles have a corresponding antimatter ...

Scientists have observed “bending” atoms using a crystal grating—an experiment once believed impossible at the high energies required. The authors of a new, non-peer reviewed study detail how the a ...

Researchers have succeeded in simultaneously observing the reorganizations of atomic positions and electron distribution during the transformation of the “smart material” vanadium dioxide from a ...

Do not exceed 10 mA of current! The electron diffraction tube is fragile. Handle with care. Turn down the high voltage when not in use. It is worthwhile to contrast the diffraction of electrons with ...

Place the laser on top of the lab jacks, making sure the laser is pointed away from people. Place the slide mount on the optical rail and insert the sample slide to the slide mount. Plug in the laser ...

Vernier Software & Technology has introduced a new system of carts and friction pads intended to help students perform hands-on experiments in order to learn physics concepts. Vernier's Dynamics Cart ...

In March 2020, the 600 students of the physics lab course no longer had lamps, filters and measuring devices for their practical experiments, but just household objects: the university was forced to ...
