Scientists have unlocked a new way to control ionization, the process where atoms lose electrons, using specially designed ...

Scientists have long used Gaussian beams to study how light interacts with matter. These beams resemble plane waves and rely ...

light itself—specifically, a laser beam—can block another beam, forming a visible shadow. “Our demonstration of a very counter-intuitive optical effect invites us to reconsider our notion of ...

But it's now also possible to have a very wide light, or a focused beam that can shine on a specific point. First, you'll need to make sure that you've updated your iPhone to iOS 18. That's the ...

Raman effect explains the inelastic scattering of light. The change in the wavelength of light that occurs when a light beam is deflected by molecules after passing through a transparent medium.

highest-peak-power electron beams ever produced. The team has published their paper in Physical Review Letters. For many years, scientists have been finding new uses for high-powered laser light ...

FROM EARLIER: Meet MOOV: The future of fitness wearables The reason why Beam looks different from your regular projector model is that it’s made to fit into any regular light bulb socket ...
