Optimizing the geometric parameters of polymer nanoantenna arrays significantly improves the performance of optical ...

The space agency took advantage of an optical phenomenon to gain new insights into the wind and waves of Peru's Lake Titicaca ...

Spriggs, a world-renowned artist who has shown his wild visions in global hot spots such as New York, Brisbane, Beijing and ...

In a world rapidly evolving through the corridors of globalization, technological advancements, and cultural exchanges, the ...

The reliable manipulation of the speed at which light travels through objects could have valuable implications for the development of various advanced technologies, including high-speed ...

Researchers say they are finally unraveling the effects of ultrafast lasers that can change material states in attoseconds —one-billionth of one-billionth of a second—the time required to complete one ...

There are two things occurring here that contribute to the phases of the reflected waves. As the top wave of light hits the soap film, it reflects back off the front of the soap film and flips ...

In this letter, we propose a transparent and rollable electromagnetic wave-absorbing film that employs screen printing and metal mesh technologies. Despite the film being very thin, it successfully ...

Because of a counterintuitive fundamental physics principle, Tartrazine, also known as Yellow 5, can temporarily turn biological tissue transparent to the naked eye, as described in a study ...

When the food, drug and cosmetic dye Yellow No. 5 is absorbed by skin, however, it reduces scattering and allows light to penetrate deeper, making the tissue transparent.

Since light is an electromagnetic wave, it doesn't need a medium to “wave in" (unlike sound). That means it can travel through empty space—as sunlight does, luckily for us.
