Understanding optical resolution is key in microscopy, highlighting the diffraction limit and innovations in super-resolution ...

Optics meets 2D materials: a simple probe light beam exiting an optical moiré lattice can be chopped up into diffuse streaks or confined into a single bright spot, depending on the twist angle in the ...

A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...

It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next ...
