Researchers have shown how the principles of rogue waves -- huge 30-meter waves that arise unexpectedly in the ocean -- can be applied on a nano scale, with dozens of applications from medicine to ...
Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that can be bent, cloaked, and sculpted at scales smaller than a single wavelength ...
A physicist has proposed a bold experiment that could allow gravitational waves to be manipulated using laser light. By ...
A new synthesis of seismic research shows that artificial intelligence, when combined with physical principles, is rapidly ...
Until recently, scientists had never detected black holes in the “mass gap”—now, particle physicists are exploring ideas beyond the Standard Model that could explain them. On May 21, 2019, a ripple in ...
Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...
