Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the ...

"Our technique uses stimulated Raman scattering, where the laser stimulates much ... The new technique addresses the tiny, random variations in the timing of light waves that make laser beams less ...

This quantum balancing act—long debated by Einstein and Bohr—was tested without traditional “spring” components, instead ...

Beam shape coefficients (BSCs): Quantitative factors that characterise the modal decomposition of an electromagnetic beam, used to predict scattering behaviour.

Shine a beam of light on a cloud of atoms, and they’ll scatter some of that light in all directions. This type of light scattering is a common phenomenon: It happens in Earth’s atmosphere.

To the detector, the light beam looks almost the same in both cases.” It’s fascinating work, building on the team’s previous experiments in manipulating light waves to camouflage objects ...

Macromolecules in solution scatter light from a culminated, monochromatic beam in all directions. The scattering intensity and pattern are influenced by the size and shape of the macromolecules. The ...
