About

Diffraction is the phenomenon where waves, such as light, X-rays, electrons, or neutrons, bend around obstacles or spread out after passing through apertures. This fundamental wave behavior is a key concept in physics and optics, forming the basis for various research methodologies, including diffraction techniques used to probe the structural properties of materials at atomic and molecular levels.
