One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...

Can a photon be caught behaving like a wave and a particle in the same run of an experiment? For almost a century, that ...

I have long been fascinated by the strong attraction many people feel toward quantum field theory as a way to explain extraordinary experiences. As a psychiatrist interested in coincidences and the ...

“Supermode” is controllable pattern brighter than combined separate devices. 940 nm dual-cavity photonic crystal VCSEL array. Click for info. Today, VCSELs (vertical cavity surface-emitting lasers) ...

The design strategy for terahertz metasurfaces capable of achieving spin-selective functionality through complex-amplitude modulation is systematically categorized into four distinct parametric ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

Researchers discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one-dimensional bands ...

Tokyo, Japan – One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, ...
