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 another ...

Researchers have finally resolved a century-old debate over the famous "double slit" experiment, according to new research.

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

A proposed experiment that would involve trapping atoms on a two-layered laser grid could be used to study the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity. Developed by physicists in Germany ...

(Nanowerk News) The equations that describe physical systems often assume that measurable features of the system — temperature or chemical potential, for example — can be known exactly. But the real ...
