The principle of wave-particle duality is crucial in quantum physics, highlighting the dual nature of light and matter and ...

A team led by researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo, has discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices.

In April 1982, Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 Nobel Prize in Chemistry: the quasiperiodic crystal.

Diffraction casting enables scalable and paralleled logic operations with high flexibility and integration capability, based on wave optics. view more Credit: Conceptual artwork courtesy of ...

Simple way of making an interference pattern with fingers The phenomenon of forming an interference pattern by using light that passed through a double slit is a basic item learnt in a high school ...

Wave optics is a branch of optics that studies phenomena such as interference, diffraction, and polarization. These phenomena helped in the development of interferometers, holograms, polarizers ...

Diffraction spikes are caused by interference due to the wave nature of light. The patterns produced depend on the shape of the telescope’s mirror and the number of spider struts.

The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a screen to create a unique diffraction pattern across space, where the peaks and troughs ...
