For more than 50 years, scientists have dreamed of seeing the hidden patterns that govern the motion of nonlinear waves—the ...

Ordinarily, light waves pass through each other without any trouble. But when quantum mechanics is involved, something strange happens: photons can interact through the creation of virtual particles ...

A flash of light hits a simple iron crystal. In the space of a trillionth of a second, its magnetic behavior shifts, as if ...

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 ...

The finding, based on data from the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii, marks the first direct evidence of tiny ...

Researchers found a method to tune Dirac plasmon polaritons, paving the way for efficient terahertz devices that could revolutionize sensing, imaging, and computing. Ordinary light is limited by the ...

This cinematic HDR 4K footage captures the soft power of the sea — golden light reflecting on deep blue waves as the day ...

Is there anything more dramatic than an exploding star? More than just extraordinarily bright, energetic events that can ...

Quantum materials just made light do the "impossible", unlocking hidden terahertz waves that could transform future technology.

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...
