When light passes through materials, it typically changes direction and bends in predictable ways. This change in direction, known as refraction, is caused by a change in the speed of light as it ...

When last we saw [xoreaxeax], he had built a lens-less optical microscope that deduced the structure of a sample by recording the diffraction patterns formed by shining a laser beam through it. At the ...

First experimental observation of matter-wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom using a graphene-based diffraction grating. (Nanowerk News) One of the discoveries that fundamentally ...

One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the observation that matter behaves differently at the smallest scales. A key ...

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or ...

Is it possible to 3d print a diffraction pattern? People in Denmark 'stunned' by Trump's Greenland comments, former ambassador says Tenacious D's Kyle Gass addresses controversial Trump joke and Jack ...

In International Journal of Extreme Manufacturing, a new laser machining method that dynamically adapts its beam shape is proposed to fabricate microgrooves with ...

"Diffraction effects and polarization-related reflections make it difficult to control how energy is distributed during ablation," says Prof. Shaolin Xu, a laser manufacturing expert at SUSTech and ...

When designing a kitchen, the hard surfaces tend to take priority. Countertop materials, cabinetry, and appliances are what help your kitchen perform to the max. But don't overlook the decorative ...
