For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'. When you shine light through almost any transparent material, the gridlock of ...

When it comes to electromagnetic waves, humans can really only directly perceive a very small part of the overall spectrum, ...

A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in Leiden has produced new insights that could be applied in 5G devices and the ...

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...

When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted ...

In a breakthrough for next-generation technologies, scientists have learned how to precisely control the behavior of tiny waves of light and electrons, paving the way for faster communications and ...

Forward-looking: Scientists have discovered a new method for controlling special light waves in two-dimensional materials, a breakthrough that could lead to the development of faster communication ...

Aalto University researchers have developed a method to execute AI tensor operations using just one pass of light. By encoding data directly into light waves, they enable calculations to occur ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...
