Diffraction occurs when a wave encounters an obstruction in its path and will change direction, or wrap around it. In ocean waves, we see this occur when a wave encounters an object like a jetty and ...

Diffraction gratings are beautiful things, bending transmitted and reflected light and splitting it into its component wavelengths to create attractive iridescent rainbow patterns. It’s the same ...

Fluorescence microscopy techniques are powerful tools for probing very small signals and revealing three-dimensional (3D) structural and functional properties of biological samples with high ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The diffraction of axisymmetric, harmonic elastic waves by a circular crack is considered. It is shown that the potential functions for the ...

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 209, No. 1096 (Oct. 8, 1951), pp. 81-96 (16 pages) The radio waves from 'radio stars' may suffer ...

What do you do if you want to look inside a biological cell, hoping to see objects that are well beyond the diffraction limit of a microscope – roughly 200nm? One solution is to use the ...

[The Action Lab] had a very serious technical problem. His daughter wanted to 3D print sparkly unicorns. But how do you make a 3D print sparkly? Turns out, he had used a diffraction grating before to ...

A pulse of light sets the tempo in the material. Atoms in a crystalline sheet just a few atoms thick begin to move—not ...

Is it possible to 3d print a diffraction pattern? ‘Where’s the $2.4 million?’: Brittany Higgins’ bankruptcy order delayed by ...

For pharmaceuticals, knowing the chemical composition is not enough - molecular geometry and crystal structure also play an important role in a drug's activity. By using a method based on electron ...

The first laboratory-based diffraction contrast tomography (DCT) system for 3D grain imaging was launched by Carl Zeiss X-ray Microscopy, a pioneer in bringing synchrotron imaging capabilities to the ...
