BUFFALO, N.Y. — In a physics first, a team including scientists from the University at Buffalo and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons ...

If you shine a beam of light from a laser or flashlight, the beam will spread out over distance, becoming wider and less intense far from the source. That phenomenon is called diffraction, and it is ...

Even a baseball pitcher with a strong fastball will find situations when a slow pitch with a curved trajectory will perform better. Two independent studies now demonstrate how a curved beam of light ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...
