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 ...

Lenses are a part of everyday life—they help us focus words on a page, the light from stars, and the tiniest details of microorganisms. But making a lens for highly energetic light known as gamma rays ...

For as long as physicists have known about gamma rays, they have believed that it would be impossible to create a practical lens that could focus them like light. Now, however, a team of physicists in ...

Triumphal arc: waveguide is a victory for X-ray optics Physicists in Germany have steered beams of X-rays around corners by carefully shining them along extremely narrow channels carved into a thin ...
