Researchers from the University of Twente and Harvard University have developed a new way to generate ultraviolet (UV) light ...
A light-sensitive crystal is opening the door to a new era of “light-written” technology. Arsenic trisulfide can be reshaped ...
Light does more than illuminate the world—it can also push and twist matter. It was back in the 1870s that James Clerk ...
Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.
Researchers have shown that surprisingly large metal particles can behave according to quantum mechanics, existing in ...
A luminous swirl set against the deep black of space, the barred spiral galaxy IC 486 glows with a soft, ethereal light in ...
Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new ...

Could this telescope find life on alien worlds?
The ExoLife Finder (ELF) looks like no telescope ever built. A spectacular crown of 15 five-meter mirrors perches atop a sprawling metal lattice, resembling petals on a 10-story-tall mechanical flower ...
The direction in which the electromagnetic field of circularly polarized light rotates can be easily reversed by applying a voltage, RIKEN researchers have demonstrated. This could enable a new ...
Many animal tissues (e.g., muscle fibers and collagen) are translucent yet exhibit rich optical properties such as scattering and diffraction. In this study, we show that transparent muscle tissue in ...
Abstract: In this paper, an example game module design added to an existing STEM experiment kit of reflected optical diffraction is presented for the illustration of wave/particle properties. Showing ...
