A nanofabricated silicon template holds two independent multilayer Laue lenses with high precision for easy alignment to create a nano-focused X-ray beam. Scientists have developed a new type of lens ...

Follow the build process of a custom microscope, from a simple single-lens macro setup to a more advanced three-lens ...

A new fortuitous alignment has allowed a cluster of galaxies to play a crucial role. Nicknamed the “carousel lens,” this unique gravitational lens reveals not one, but seven distant galaxies.

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that focuses an X-ray beam to nanometer levels. This is a scale smaller than a single virus. The monolithic 2-D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) can focus an ...
