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 ...

Coherent control with lasers involves steering a quantum system along two or more pathways to the same final state, and manipulating the phase and wavelength of light to favour this state. This ...

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 ...

(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 ...
