(Nanowerk News) 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.

Scientists have designed, fabricated and successfully tested a novel X-ray lens that produces sharper and brighter images of the nano world. The lens employs an innovative concept to redirect X-rays ...

“Diffractive and refractive optical elements have become an integral part of most high-resolution X-ray microscopes. However, they suffer from inherent chromatic aberration. This has to date ...

Russian scientists have developed a "smart" lens that allows them to control terahertz radiation that is safe for living cells. The novelty can become the basis for a "harmless X-ray" with high-detail ...

A new algorithm that compensates for deficiencies in X-ray lenses could make images from X-ray microscopes much sharper and higher in quality than ever before, say researchers at the University of ...
