Scientists have found a way to achieve negative refraction—where light bends the "wrong" way—using carefully arranged atomic arrays instead of engineered metamaterials. This breakthrough has enormous ...

Scientists found a free-living coral species actively travels toward blue light resembling its natural habitat and moves like ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

Laser diodes are semiconductors that generate light and amplify it using repeated reflection or "optical feedback." Once the ...

So-called Rayleigh–Bloch waves can release enormous amount of energy that can damage technical systems under certain ...

Researchers have developed a novel experimental platform to measure the electric fields of light trapped between two mirrors with a sub-cycle precision. These electro-optic Fabry-Perot resonators will ...
