Light waves (red arrows) passing through a crystal can reveal magnetic domains in certain 2D antiferromagnets. © 2025 RIKEN ...

A crystal used in the study charges under UV light. The process created by the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering Zhong Lab could be used with a variety of materials, ...

Electrons shot through a crystal could be made to diffract like light waves passing through slats in a blind, or sea waves entering a narrow harbor. Electron diffraction was revolutionary not just ...

This change in orientation affects the light's ability to pass through the liquid crystal layer, enabling the display to produce images. An LCD consists of several layers, including two polarizing ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the ...

Even with just one photon passing through per second, the calcite setup demonstrates how light ‘chooses’ a path, revealing the probabilistic essence of quantum mechanics. Using common ...
