First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

Brookline High School students will no longer have access to The Calculus Project, a math program designed to bridge achievement gaps by providing supplemental instruction for students of color and ...

(a) Working principle of metasurface displacement measurement can be understood as the detection of the power of different modes of the converted light. The incident irradiated on the metasurface and ...

Reflective ruled diffraction grating is a kind of optical glass substrate composed of dense, equidistant parallel lines, and the surface is coated with aluminized, multi-layer dielectric or other ...

For some high school students, statistics and other data science courses have unseated calculus as the de facto option for pursuing advanced math, in part due to targeted state efforts to expand ...

Researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) have unveiled a planar optical device that significantly enhances the capabilities of dark-field microscopy, achieving ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Calculus is a powerful mathematical tool. But for hundreds of years after its invention in the 17th century, it stood on a shaky ...

This novel finding regarding the nonreciprocal diffraction of acoustic waves could open doors for next-generation communication devices. A unique propagation phenomenon of acoustic waves has been ...

In the late 19th century, Karl Weierstrass invented a fractal-like function that was decried as nothing less than a “deplorable evil.” In time, it would transform the foundations of mathematics.
