Olivine, the most common mineral in the upper 400 km (about 250 miles) of Earth’s interior, has long been studied for how it deforms. Scientists have identified two primary directions of dislocation ...
Diamonds are famous for their strength, but scientists have long suspected that another form of diamond might be even harder.

Chemistry textbooks explain how reactions start and end, but they rarely show what happens in between. Seeing these hidden moments matters because chemistry is ultimately governed by quantum rules. By ...
Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...
Ptychography is an area-by-area scanning method that uses constant, coherent illumination to scan a region of a sample in several adjacent and overlapping locations. The dispersed radiation is ...
ABSTRACT: This paper serves two purposes. Firstly, we show how the classical mechanics of Newton—where momentum energy is less than rest mass energy, pc≪ m o c 2 = E o —transitions with increasing ...
