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 ...

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that focuses an X-ray beam to nanometer levels. This is a scale smaller than a single virus. The monolithic 2-D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) can focus an ...

(Nanowerk News) X-ray microscopes are fascinating imaging tools. They uniquely combine nanometer-size resolution with a large penetration depth: X-ray microscopy or XRM is the only technique where one ...

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 ...
