Electron diffraction is a powerful analytical technique used to study the atomic structure of materials. It involves the interaction of a beam of electrons with a crystalline sample, resulting in a ...

A new scientific instrument at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory promises to capture some of nature's speediest processes. It uses a method known as ultrafast electron ...

Using a high-speed "electron camera" at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, scientists have simultaneously captured the movements of electrons and nuclei in a molecule ...

DLR researchers have succeeded, for the first time, in diffracting matter waves of atoms through a solid; until now, this had only been possible with electrons and neutrons. This opens up new avenues ...

IN 1924, Prince Louis de Broglie put forward the thesis that all material particles, and in particular electrons, have properties analogous to those of a train of waves. This view, which is now ...

IN June of last year (Proc. Phys. Soc., vol. 40, p. 284) I made a preliminary announcement of an experiment on the diffraction of electrons from a ruled grating in much the same way as has been done ...

Using SLAC's high-speed 'electron camera,' scientists simultaneously captured the movements of electrons and nuclei in a light-excited molecule. This marks the first time this has been done with ...
