As they reached the light, the electrons either sped up or slowed down; and, using an ultrafast microscope, the team could image the standing wave. But the electrons also showed the standing wave ...

The bottom layer of the image shows where the particles of light are and the top layer shows what the light looks like as a wave: "This experiment demonstrates that, for the first time ever ...

The microscope was used to map the locations where the energy packet exchange was taking place along the wire, leading to the image seen above -- a depiction of light as a particle and a wave in ...

Researchers have found a way to generate the shortest-ever flash of light – 80 attoseconds (billionths of a billionth of a second) long. Such flashes have already been used to capture an image ...

It's a wave. It's a particle ... These packets of energy show that the light was acting as a particle. Because the whole interaction was caught in images by an ultrafast electron microscope ...

In a longitudinal wave, the vibration is parallel to the direction of energy transfer. A ripple tank is a transparent shallow tray of water with a light shining down through it onto a white card ...

An image of a 'delicate supernova blast wave' seen draped across the sky 2,400 light years from Earth, has been captured by the NASA Hubble Space Telescope. Appearing like a light veil across the ...

The complex and intriguing dynamics of light and sound interactions ... of multiple high-frequency hybrid transverse and longitudinal acoustic waves (LAWs) trapped within the small core of ...
