The lab moved away from high energy physics. Early experiments are described as diffract before destroy. Until recently, Persis Drell was director of SLAC.

Seventy years after scientists first proposed such an experiment, researchers from the University of Nebraska in Lincoln have shown light waves can diffract or bend a beam of electrons. The study ...

Fresnel lenses are often used with classic lighthouse lamps due to their ability to diffract light across large distances. [Related: NASA’s next massive telescope could have a liquid lens.] ...

Plants absorb, diffract and reflect sound. The balance varies with the frequency at which the sound is generated and the room's physical properties. By Kenneth Freeman Head of Innovation, Ambius ...

Case Western Reserve University physics professor Giuseppe Strangi and collaborators at Harvard and the Italian university UniCal have taken a step toward making "metalenses" even more useful--by ...

The small water droplets in the pileus cloud diffract sunlight, a process known as iridescence, giving off the pastel colors in the image. Conditions must be just right.

Electrons are 1,800 times lighter than the lightest atom (something discovered by Thomson’s father J.J. Thomson) so they can more easily diffract through the lattice of a crystal.
