Waves of all types inevitably spread out while propagating, owing to diffraction. Under certain strict conditions, however, waves can be made to propagate without diffraction. Although this has been ...
(PhysOrg.com) -- When trying to focus sound waves into as small an area as possible, scientists run into a fundamental limit called the diffraction limit. That is, when sound waves are focused into a ...
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A, Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Vol. 209, No. 1096 (Oct. 8, 1951), pp. 81-96 (16 pages) The radio waves from 'radio stars' may suffer ...
SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Vol. 48, No. 1 (Feb., 1988), pp. 1-37 (37 pages) We derive an asymptotic partial differential equation which describes the diffraction of a weakly nonlinear high ...
Diffraction phenomena are of fundamental importance for the characterization and analysis of materials in industrial and scientific applications. Prominent examples include X-ray crystallography as ...

Silicon and carbon could explain Earth’s onion-like inner core
Deep beneath our feet, far beyond the reach of drills or submersibles, Earth hides a solid metal heart that behaves in ways geophysicists have struggled to explain. New experiments now suggest that a ...
Difference between Interference and Diffraction: This article covers an important topic from Class 12 Physics. As we all know, Physics is one of the toughest subjects in Class 12. With the vast amount ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
The first neutron interferometer built from two separate crystals rather than one could lead to more advanced measurements of quantum effects, including in gravitational fields. Developed by ...
