This novel finding regarding the nonreciprocal diffraction of acoustic waves could open doors for next-generation communication devices.

The discovery of asymmetric diffraction in acoustic waves opens new avenues for innovative communication devices, impacting ...

The magnetic nanoscale array can be thought of as a specialized grating that the waves go through. To their surprise, instead of the typical symmetric diffraction pattern, the research team ...

Light from the galaxy passes through a prism or reflects off a diffraction grating in a telescope, which captures the intensity of light from blue to red. Astronomers call a shift to longer ...

Ultrawide-bandgap semiconductors—such as diamond—are promising for next-generation electronics due to a larger energy gap between the valence and conduction bands, allowing them to handle higher ...

However, using an atom-thick layer of carbon atoms known as graphene, experts found that even after 100 hours under irradiation of an atom beam, the grating showed no damage and diffraction still ...
