How to use diffuse in a sentence?

  1. Albert Ogien:

  2. Andrew Freeman:

    Don’t hang out in there and watch TV or read books or do work in there, keep a notebook next to the bed so if you wake up in the middle of the night you can write down what comes to mind. Diffuse any worries you have by meditating on it and do your best to let things go.

  3. Martin Cordiner:

Our confirmation of C60 + shows just how complex astrochemistry can get, even in the lowest density, most strongly ultraviolet-irradiated environments in the Galaxy.

  4. Kamau Bell:

    The thing in this moment that causes me to want to do this is for our daughters, so they can know all that's available to know, and I'm excited to see this all laid out on paper so I can show it to my dad and my aunt, Jackie. So they can see it for real because it's clear that even their knowledge is a little bit diffuse.

  5. Jonathan Davis:

    These telescopes were designed to look for diffuse light around galaxies.
