Scientists have developed a ground-breaking achromatic lens for X-rays. This allows the X-ray beams to be accurately focused on a single point even if they have different wavelengths. The new lens ...

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) - Sometimes it would be nice to disappear, at least for a little bit. So, is there a way to invisibility? In the past, we did an experiment with invisibility goop - which you can ...

A lens that can bring X-rays with a range of different wavelengths to a sharp focus at a single point has been developed. Lenses in conventional cameras and microscopes contain correcting elements ...

A telescope in space has captured a rare kind of cosmic allignment for the first time. NASA's Fermi telescope has captured the first gamma-ray measurements of a gravitational lens, a rare natural ...

With X-ray microscopes, researchers at PSI look inside computer chips, catalysts, small pieces of bone, or brain tissue. The short wavelength of the X-rays makes details visible that are a million ...

The lens design allows to transmit up to 60 per cent of the incoming X-rays to the sample. The scientists focussed the X-ray beam in just one direction, resulting in a thin line. Focussing in two ...

When light moves from air into glass or plastic it is refracted close refractionProcess by which a wave changes speed and sometimes direction upon entering a denser or less dense medium, eg a light ...
