In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...

Finite-energy Airy beams were first introduced in the field of optics in 2007 (refs 1, 2) as new non-diffracting wavepackets in one and two spatial dimensions. The Airy function, describing the ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2024.230171 discusses a miniature tunable airy beam optical meta-device. The Airy beam has attracted extensive research interest due to ...

Scientists have created the first neutron 'Airy beam,' which has unusual capabilities that ordinary neutron beams do not. The achievement could enhance neutron-based techniques for investigating the ...
