Newly developed hardware for making high-transmission optical fiber in zero gravity has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). Launched last week on board a Cygnus cargo ship carrying more ...

Classical optics, rooted in the laws of reflection and refraction that treat light as rays, has long provided a practical framework for imaging and illumination. By contrast, physical optics delves ...

Exploring the fundamental laws of physics has often required huge accelerators and particles colliding at high energies. But table-top experiments, usually employing exquisitely tuned lasers and ...
