I haven't finished reading the journal article yet but this thread started by Scott Wilkinson over at AVS caught my eye: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/91-au...der-diffuser-10-times-thinner-than-usual.html
Essentially a method of using modified cavity resonators to create fairly broadband diffusers that are much thinner (1/20 vs. 1/2 wavelength) than conventional designs.
Key papers/references from the AVS thread:
