This right here is astoundingly good science journalism. Accurate (to the best of my knowledge) and clear, that's all I ask, and this brief article in The Economist gets it right.

Am I missing something, or is the writer's name not mentioned?

Articles in The Economist don't get bylines: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_economist#Tone_and_voice

That's a shame, because this writer is far better than most science journalists.

If you're out there, anonymous writer, nice work!

It's always this good.

No, not accurate. The article is about zone plates, not fresnel lenses.

The article doesn't actually mention "fresnel lens" anywhere. It does mention "zone plate" five times though.
