Researchers have discovered a method to induce chirality in non-chiral materials using terahertz light. This groundbreaking ...

Just as healing crystals have a vibrational frequency, so does everything else. According to quantum physicists, everything ...

This method is also applicable to the study of the local variation of the fine structure in a crystal lattice, and the so-called selected area micro-diffraction method, when used jointly with this ...

This regular arrangement, known as a crystal lattice, forms as atoms or molecules bond in a way that minimizes the structure’s overall energy, creating symmetry and stability. Crystals form ...

Sodium Chloride is an alkali halide with an fcc crystal structure. The basis is two ions, a sodium cation and a chlorine anion. The crystal lattice parameter is 0.563 nm. The diagram shows both a unit ...

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

Zinc sulphide exists with two different crystal structures, the cubic zinc blend (top diagram) and the hexagonal Wurtzite (lower diagram). In the zinc blend structure the sulphur ions form an fcc ...

Photonic crystal surface-emitting lasers or PCSELs are laser diodes that generate laser beams through controlled light wave interaction within a photonic crystal structure. In a recent study, ...
