A scattering-invariant mode of light is generated by a spatial light modulator. This modulated beam propagates through free space (top) or a strongly scattering medium (bottom) such that the pattern ...

Discovery of superluminal correlations within 2D hexagonal boron nitride could advance super-resolution electron microscopy ...

Physicists have directly tracked tiny points of darkness in laser light racing faster than light itself, without breaking Einstein’s rules. The new measurements show that these “dark points” in a ...

A team of physicists has done something that sounds impossible: they filmed points of absolute darkness racing through a beam of light faster than light itself can travel. The footage, captured using ...

More than 200 years ago, the English scientist Thomas Young carried out a famous test known as the “double-slit experiment”. He shone a beam of light at a screen with two slits in it, and observed the ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we dive into fascinating ideas from around the universe. You can sign up for Lost in Space-Time here. When physicist ...

In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...
