"For us, it became an enabler." By carefully designing patterns smaller than the diffraction limit, the team was able to precisely control how much light reached different parts of the printing area ...

Scientists have advanced metasurface technology by developing a new design that simultaneously projects holographic images and creates special diffraction patterns with ten-fold rotation symmetry of ...

In the race to build ever smaller and more complex computer chips, one of the most stubborn enemies is not the transistor ...

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 Thought Emporium] has been fascinated by holograms for a long time, and in all sorts of different ways. His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating holograms using chocolate, but along ...

Even a metal plate that looks smooth and uniform at a glance is made up of numerous "small crystal rooms (crystal grains)" ...
