Light breaks its own limit by 100,000× to image matter at the scale of atoms
For over a century, light has both helped and limited our view of the ...
When two black holes merge or two neutron stars collide, gravitational waves can be generated. They spread at the speed of light and cause tiny distortions in space-time. Albert Einstein predicted ...
Surface plasmons are collective oscillations of free electrons that occur at the interface between a metal and a dielectric medium, such as air or glass. These oscillations are coupled with ...
A U.K.-Portuguese research group is proposing a new solar cell design based on diffraction gratings – optical components that split and diffract light into several beams. They claim this could lead to ...
Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...
Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Hi Ishan! Thanks for your great question. Light can be described both as a wave and as a particle. There are two experiments in ...
