A study led by Politecnico di Milano, recently published in Nature Photonics, highlights the crucial role of virtual charges ...

If you shine a light at a mirror, the beam is reflected inward to a central focal point, bouncing back toward you in a predictable manner—it’s a simple reflection of light, a spatial inversion. When a ...

A LIGHT wave, when reflected 1 at the surface of separation of two media, may be altered in amplitude, or wavelength, or phase. Whilst, however, a change of amplitude or wave-length produces an ...

The film explores the dual nature of light, demonstrating its behavior as both a wave and a particle through an experiment involving a double slit. It shows how light creates an interference pattern, ...

The ALPS (Any Light Particle Search) experiment, which stretches a total length of 250 metres, is looking for a particularly light type of new elementary particle. Using twenty-four recycled ...
