(Phys.org)—A team of researchers working in Germany and France has demonstrated a way to bend X-ray beams using curved wave guides. In their paper published in Physical Review Letters, the team ...

Synthesization of multiple functionalities over a flat metasurface platform offers a promising approach to achieving integrated photonic devices with minimized footprint. Metasurfaces capable of ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

Acoustic modulation of atmospheric air enables the deflection of laser pulses with a peak power of 20 gigawatts, expanding the acousto-optics toolbox to high-power laser manipulation in ambient air.
