New Hologram News

Holograms can now be produced with neutrons:

 
  • As of today, October 20th 2016, Scientists have now discovered that holograms can be produced using neutron beams.
 
  • Scientists working as NIST have gone out with the old ways and are implementing the use of neutron beams to be able to see the inside of a hologram.
 
  • The old way; shinning lasers at an object with a visual of how the light waves interact with each other; did not allow observers to see the inside of the 3D -shape/ hologram.
 
  •  These scientists created a way to alter neutron beams to give off a better visual aspect to observers. They did this by creating a device that twists the neutron beams and alters them to give off a brilliant visual aspect. They call this device and piece of technology the spiral plate.
 
  • Although this discovery is not ground-breaking or life-changing, it will be a very important aid to scientists when the discover and observe solid objects. Although neutron beams are quite useful for other things like penetrating metal and solid object not many people know or thought that a neutron beam can now be used to discover and observe the hidden inside of solid objects. This discovery was just made today and it is exciting to see what it will bring about and the further discoveries it will conquer! 
Move over, lasers: Scientists can now create holograms from neutrons, too
