And I quote...
"Scientists are always looking for new ways to exploit a material's properties for useful applications".
.......What, like adobe flashplayer and One Note? Or am I missing something
Holograms created with neutron beams have been demonstrated for the first time by a team of scientists working at the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The research published this month in Optics Express shows that although neutron holograms are less visually appealing, they can reveal more information about an …
The 'object' of interest is the SPP itself. The purpose of this is to get information to enable and improve the design of neutron SPPs.
Neutron holography has been done before, to get atomic resolution analysis of crystal structures but this is the first application to a largish object. You don't get a picture of the SPP, you get interference patterns that have to be computed from the detector output, over time. These patterns correspond to the OAM characteristics imparted by the SPP.
