So what about using diffraction with infrared light? Yes, that would be cool, but we can't really see infrared (well, there is a body hack for this ). Even though we can't see infrared, most video ...

X-ray diffraction to obtain high-resolution maps of intra-granular stress in the sandstone. By combining stress mapping with ...

The wave nature of light manifests itself in diffraction, which hampers attempts to determine the location of molecules. Clever use of microscopic techniques might now be circumventing the ...

Might the ice on distant moons and gliding across interstellar clouds be intrinsically different from the ice in a ground-based freezer? In planetary science and astrochemistry for decades, it had ...

Diffraction is a classic optical phenomenon accounting for light propagation. The efficient calculation of diffraction is of significant value towards the real-time prediction of light fields. The ...

As with most negative-index phenomena, the key to producing the near-field refocusing effect is to develop the metamaterial. Intrigued by the prospect of beating the diffraction limit, Anthony Grbic ...

Diffraction gratings are available as thin plastic film with one side that is chock full of microscopic ridges, and the way light interacts with these ridges results in an iridescent, ...

Advanced light microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in disease ...

A variety of ultrathin nanomechanical diffraction gratings that have been fashioned from the “wonder material” graphene have been created by an international team of researchers. The team wanted to ...

The effect of a diffraction grating is similar to that created by photonic crystal structures: the source for that gorgeous flash of iridescent color in peacock feathers, opals, and the wings of ...

Diffraction gratings are curious things. Score a series of equally spaced tiny lines in a surface, and it will cause reflected or transmitted light to bend and separate into its component wavelengt… ...
