Research reveals that high-intensity X-ray pulses cause unexpected dimming in silicon crystal diffraction images, a phenomenon that could lead to advancements in laser technology and material analysis. When we illuminate something, we usually expect that the brighter the source we use, the bright
Defects can make a material stronger or make it fail catastrophically. Knowing how fast they travel can help researchers understand things like earthquake ruptures, structural failures, and precision manufacturing. Settling a half century of debate, researchers have discovered that tiny linear de
