The double slit experiment is one of the most fascinating and mind-bending experiments in physics, forever changing how we ...

By leveraging the concept of chirality, or the difference of a shape from its mirror image, EPFL scientists have engineered ...

Grades 9-12 Learn about the cause of sunburns, in this video from NOVA’s Gross Science series. Sunlight is made up of many ...

Meta has launched Superintelligence Labs, headed by Alexandr Wang, to advance AI development. This initiative follows a $14.3 billion investment in Scale AI and aims to recruit top talent from OpenAI ...

Various experiments illustrate the effects of diffraction, scattering, reflection, and refraction, showing how light can bend under certain conditions.

Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control ...

For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays - without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have ...

In such systems, light interacts with atoms in a controlled and precise manner, without the absorption losses that typically convert light into heat. These unique properties make atomic media a ...

1. Introduction It is well known that, before the advent of Young's experiments, the hypothesis that light is made up of tiny particles was widely spread, following the influence of Newton. In fact, ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with ...
