This page contains hints, solutions, and advanced challenges for our diffraction grating challenge. If you would like a grating (or a set for your class if you are a teacher), please contact us at ...

Fundamental diffraction physics says that a larger aperture improves both resolution and penetration. However, aperture size has historically been limited by system complexity and unknown benefit in ...

The incredible optical characteristics of textured metal films are prompting physicists to rethink the laws of optics. An international team of physicists led by Henri Lezec and Thomas Ebbesen of ...

In 1967 the Russian physicist Victor Veselago predicted the existence of a material with a negative index of refraction, which he termed “left-handed.” He concluded that in the presence of such a ...

Although electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) was first discovered by Kikuchi in 1928, its potential for microstructural characterization became fully realized only after the technique was ...

Particle size analysis is crucial to quality control and product development in a number of key industries including aerosols, construction, food and beverage, paint and coatings, and pharmaceuticals.

To the recording studio to study interference and diffraction of sound waves. Unit 6 Segment D: Sound: Diffraction and Interference We head back to the recording studio to study interference and ...

Imaging the movement of a virus demonstrates that single-particle X- ray scattering has the potential to shed new light on key molecular processes, like viral infection, when paired with powerful new ...

Coaching appointments will be available beginning in week 2 of the fall semester. Please make an appointment using the link below. One-on-one appointments between students and physics coaches offer ...
