Graphene, a material which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms, has been celebrated by many as the 'next big thing' in material science. But according to researchers, its thermal properties may ...

The Neutron Scattering Society of America, or NSSA, recognized Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Ke An and Ken Herwig as fellows for their outstanding contributions to neutron scattering. The NSSA ...

Could invisibility cloaks become a reality? New research brings this science fiction concept a step closer, with a breakthrough software package that simulates how waves interact with complex ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

The nonlinear scattering medium, as shown in (a), exhibits scattering and nonlinear modulation through nonlinear nanoparticles, making its response impossible to characterize using conventional linear ...

Scientists at the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) have identified the true source of a magnetic effect seen in the ...

ISS involves the bombardment of a surface with a beam of ions, typically noble gas ions like helium or neon, under vacuum conditions. When these ions collide with the sample surface, they are either ...
