or sea waves entering a narrow harbor. Electron diffraction was revolutionary not just for fundamental physics, but led to ...

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 ...

By showing that a simple Coke can array can focus sound waves beyond the diffraction limit, the study could have applications in providing energy for tiny electromechanical devices, among other uses.

The waves always 'spread' to some extent into the area beyond the gap. This is diffraction - the spreading out of waves when they go through a gap, or past the edge of a barrier. The extent of the ...

The goal of the current project is to open a new field of research by realizing the first diffraction experiments of atomic matter waves through crystalline 2D membranes like graphene. Such ...

The diffraction of electromagnetic (EM) waves can be cataloged into scalar diffraction and vector diffraction according to the validation of different approximation conditions. Although ...

diffraction around islands and reflection off the sandstone bluffs so prevalent in the Lake Superior region. The largest rogue wave they observed at the sea caves area was 12.8 feet when the other ...

Try to focus it to a point much smaller than one wavelength and the waves bend uncontrollably--a phenomenon known as the diffraction limit. But now, a group of physicists in France has shown how ...
