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 ...
This course will explain x-ray diffraction and related phenomena in terms of the kinematical, optical and dynamical theories of x-ray scattering. X-ray diffraction, reflectivity, standing waves and ...
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 machine learning technique, called diffusion generative modeling, emerged from statistical physics and recently gained notoriety for enabling AI-generated art programs like Midjourney and Sora.
When an ordinary beam of neutrons strikes the team’s silicon grating, the millions of scored lines on the grating convert the ...
Some of the special edition banknotes in circulation don't have the maple leaf diffraction grating. If you have any questions about the demos or notes you would like to add to this page, contact Ricky ...
When a laser beam is incident on many small objects such as lycopodium powder, the resulting diffraction pattern is similar to the diffraction pattern of a small circular aperture (Airy's disk pattern ...
What is the Diffraction Limit? The diffraction limit is a fundamental barrier in optical microscopy that sets the minimum size of features that can be resolved using conventional light microscopes. It ...
