As the spallation neutron beam passes through the TRISO particle, some neutrons are absorbed by the uranium while most are scattered away. A neutron area detector collects the scattered neutrons, ...

Nanocomposites are igniting exciting discussions across various industries right now, including the automotive industry, due to them being a supreme class of high-performance materials. They ...

Automatically numbering and weighting electronic states instead of taking averages improves estimates of target molecular orbitals.

Even diffuse objects like clouds or sugar cubes cast shadows, because they’re disordered media that scatter light waves. But now, researchers at TU Wien and Utrecht University have found a way to ...

What is X-Ray Scattering? X-ray scattering is a powerful analytical technique used to probe the structure and properties of materials at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of X-rays at a ...

Brillouin scattering is seen as a natural hinderance in fiber optic cables. New developments in artificial Brillouin scattering could revolutionize circuits. By controlling how they operate, circuits ...

Rapid advances in nanotechnology and nucleic acid chemistry are turbocharging pharmaceutical pipelines, speeding the development of treatments for previously incurable medical conditions. These ...

A range of different additives and extra layers could change the way a solar cell surface interacts with light, and thus improve its performance. Among these is light scattering, where sunlight hits ...

This article will outline how the different types of light scattering can be utilized in the characterization of vaccines. By quantifying multiple characteristics such as shape, size, molar mass and ...
