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 ...

A variety of ultrathin nanomechanical diffraction gratings that have been fashioned from the “wonder material” graphene have been created by an international team of researchers. The team wanted to ...

Quantum physics tell us that even massive particles can behave like waves, as if they could be in several places at once. This phenomenon is typically proven in the diffraction of a matter wave at a ...

According to quantum mechanics, the motion of massive particles is described by wave theory. This wave nature of matter is most strikingly demonstrated by observing an interference pattern in the ...

At the quantum boundary This experiment at the University of Vienna proves that objects as big as molecules can interfere. (Image: Robin Riegler) Ever since quantum theory was developed during the ...

(Nanowerk News) Described as the "most beautiful experiment in physics", Richard Feynman spoke of the double-slit experiment as 'the heart of quantum physics', emphasizing how the diffraction of ...
