I've talked about a bunch of physics from the March Meeting a few weeks ago, but there's one more broad topic I wanted to write up, based on a prize talk by Eli Yablonovitch. As I started thinking ...

Diffractive imaging, in which image-forming optics are replaced by an inverse computation using scattered intensity data, could, in principle, realize wavelength-scale resolution in a transmission ...

The origin of electron interferometry can be traced to the invention of electron holography by D. Gabor in 1949. Its original purpose was to improve electron microscope resolution, which had been ...

In classical electromagnetism, a charged particle radiates energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation when it accelerates. This effect is the principle behind many useful sources of radiation ...

(1632-1723) and Englishman Robert Hooke (1635-1703). Both played instrumental roles in the identification of microorganisms using glass lenses and essentially launched the fields of optical microscopy ...
