Over a year ago, Lihong Wang, a professor at Caltech, revolutionized imaging with a camera capable of snapping 10 trillion ...

An international team of researchers has developed a novel technique to efficiently excite and control highly-confined ...

Researchers report their insights on the emerging field of complex frequencies excitations, a recently introduced scheme to control light, sound and other wave phenomena beyond conventional limits.

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 ...

Dracula orchids, also called monkey orchids, look like a face hidden in nature.

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is ...

One of the great joys in mathematics is the ability to use math to describe phenomena seen in the physical world, says UB mathematician Gino Biondini. With UB postdoctoral researcher Dionyssios ...

Lawbreakers? faster-than-light Polarization Currents, The Electromagnetic “Boom” and Pulsar Observational Data Pulsars are neutron stars that emit amazingly regular, short bursts of radio waves, so ...
