Captured here is a laser diffraction pattern, visible as a series of concentric circles with a bright central area. This pattern is a result of light waves spreading out and overlapping after passing ...

"I was definitely surprised to see that cells under this kind of mechanical stress can mitigate growth in that way," Weady ...

Under an electron microscope, the alloy produced a diffraction pattern in which concentric circles, each made of ten dots, had five-fold rotational symmetry (Fig. 1) — indicating that the atomic ...

The pattern is made of concentric circles, ... To unravel Galileo's mistake, Graney calculated the intensity of the diffraction pattern for stars of different brightnesses.

The air sacs align in the same direction in the wind, which helps to create the diffraction pattern and causes the rings to have a slightly elliptical shape, according to Spaceweather.com.
