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 ...

X‐ray optics has emerged as a critical field in modern imaging and fabrication, utilising refractive lenses that enable the precise control and focusing of X‐ray beams. Refractive lenses, particularly ...

A nanofabricated silicon template holds two independent multilayer Laue lenses with high precision for easy alignment to create a nano-focused X-ray beam. Scientists have developed a new type of lens ...

(Nanowerk News) After the synchrotrons of the fourth generation were invented (these are particle accelerators, which are, in fact, giant research facilities), there was an urgent need for a ...

Swiss researchers demonstrate a convenient way to mass produce high-resolution x-ray optics. Holography with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light could be the answer for rapid, mass production of ...

A fundamental assumption of physics is toppled: even extremely high-energy radiation is refracted in suitable materials such as silicon or gold Optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes are ...
