A team of scientists says they've found a specific kind of light wave that can pierce directly through objects, making it seem as though they were totally invisible. This new approach, however, is a ...

Researchers have invented a new quantum holography technique that images objects using undetected light. This counterintuitive process, which involves two correlated beams of nonclassical light in an ...

Turns out the key to making things lighter than air is…light! California scientists think they’ve found a way to make objects levitate using concentrated light — a theory that could even propel ...

For several centuries now, scientists have known that light behaves like a wave, expanding out from its source until absorbed or reflected by objects, which are in turn illuminated. In recent years, ...

With high-speed cameras you’re able to see bullets passing through objects, explosions in process, and other high-speed phenomena. Rarely, though, are you able to see what happens when light shines on ...

Electrical and computer engineers have created a physical artificial neural network -- a device modeled on how the human brain works -- that can analyze large volumes of data and identify objects at ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Back in 2018, astronomers examining the ruins of two collided ...

Princeton researchers have uncovered new rules governing how objects absorb and emit light, fine-tuning scientists' control over light and boosting research into next-generation solar and optical ...

Once thought of as the province of only "Star Trek" or "Harry Potter," cloaking technologies could become a reality with a specially designed material that can mask itself from other forms of light ...

Researchers have uncovered new rules governing how objects absorb and emit light, fine-tuning scientists' control over light and boosting research into next-generation solar and optical devices.
