A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

The demonstrated QCMs can reconstruct holographic images and display diffraction patterns simultaneously. Silicon nanofins are arranged in the Penrose tiling pattern as illustrated by the 2D color ...

A pattern of distorted lines is visible as a reflection in this close-up view of a human eye. By observing the deformation of illumination patterns reflected off the eye's surface, researchers in ...

Did you have the same question as I did when you looked at the spectacular first light images from the $10 billion James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or “Webb” for short)? Yes, they are all incredible, ...

Is it possible to 3d print a diffraction pattern? Martin Lewis issues warning over using debit cards Russell Crowe details health woes as he reveals the secret behind his 26kg transformation Mona has ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...
