Using a trick with the optical resolution limit, Stefan W. Hell managed to break through the diffraction barrier in light microscopy, making it possible to obtain high-resolution images of the ...

The spikes around bright stars in deep images are caused by the way light interacts with the shape of a telescope’s mirrors and the struts holding them.

The emergence of imaging schemes capable of overcoming Abbe's diffraction barrier is revolutionizing optical microscopy.

Although the last four models (i.e., elliptic or hyperbolic model) are capable of simulating strong wave diffraction, reflection, and resonance, those capabilities were not compared because RCPWAVE, ...

In many industries, laser diffraction is used to perform routine particle size analysis. The power of laser diffraction is such that it has started to replace conventional techniques, such as sieving.

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 ...
