One of the coolest things about physics is that the same basic concept can pop up in several seemingly unrelated things: say, a CD, the seed shrimp’s antennae, certain fossils in the Burgess shale, ...

Here’s a great picture from [Jelly & Marshmallows] that shows off the wild effects of melted chocolate poured onto a diffraction grating. A diffraction grating is a kind of optical component whose ...

A research team has fabricated a subwavelength grating from an epitaxial molybdenum diselenide (MoSe2) layer roughly 42 nanometers thick and measured optical confinement consistent with a bound state ...
