The sound waves move light in small spaces. The change can help make thin screens, fast data tools, and better VR and ...

Researchers from TU Wien have developed a new process that allows light waves to pass right through a material by projecting a matching wave pattern onto it, actively camouflaging the target from ...

Researchers have found a novel way to use high-frequency acoustic waves to mechanically manipulate light at the nanometer ...

Clouds or sugar cubes block light because they’re disordered media that scatter light waves. Now scientists have found a way to manipulate light waves to pass through, projecting an image on the ...

This article is more than 4 years old. Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this ... More 2015 photograph. ... Fabrizio Carbone/EPFL (2015) ...

Light phase and 3D images In general, a wave has amplitude and phase as parameters. As shown in Fig. 2, amplitude and phase express wave height and wave shift, respectively.

Light is hard to get a hold on. Light waves propagate with a velocity of almost 300,000 km per second, and the wavefront oscillates several hundred trillion times in that same interval.

Light wave confined to surface of a sphere In their work, researchers led by Ofer Kfir and Claus Ropers illuminated small glass spheres with laser light that was trapped in an optical ...
