  New York NY (SPX) Jun 08, 2017 We cannot see atoms with the naked eye because they are so small relative to the wavelength of light. This is an instance of a general rule in optics - light is insensitive to features which are much smaller than the optical wavelength. However, a new experiment appearing in Science shows that features that are even 100 times smaller than the wavelength can still be sensed by light. Hanan Sheinfux and Dr. Yaakov Lumer, from the group of Prof. Moti Segev at the Technion -Technical Institute of Isra ... read more |
