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 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 ...

To cut weight from x-ray space telescopes, Tokyo Metropolitan University is micro-machining x-ray lenses from silicon. To cut weight from x-ray space telescopes, Tokyo Metropolitan University is micro ...

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 ...

When light moves from air into glass or plastic it is refracted close refractionProcess by which a wave changes speed and sometimes direction upon entering a denser or less dense medium, eg a light ...
