Researchers have pushed light control into a regime that used to belong strictly to theory, steering optical waves at the ...

"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Light has always been described as an elegant partnership of electric and magnetic fields, yet for nearly two centuries physicists treated the magnetic side as a quiet background player. New ...

Researchers have used a 350-year-old theorem to better understand the strange nature of light. The team took a theorem used for describing pendulums and substituted the brightness of light in for what ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...

Just as nanoplasmonics reveals the fascinating interplay between light and metal nanoparticles, nanophotonics ventures into the broader realm of light manipulation at the nanometer scale. It explores ...

We say a message is incoherent when we can't make it out, or when it doesn't make sense. A scribbled note, a drunken argument or a conversation taking place five tables down in a crowded cafe might ...
