A photon emitted from a star a billion light-years away arrives at a telescope having experienced no time whatsoever. Not ...
Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometers thick—over 1,000 times ...
Light usually travels in straight lines, but what if it could twist, spiral, and ...
A completely new structure of light just dropped, called the chiral vortex – and the international team of scientists behind its creation says it could be crucial in developing new drugs and in ...
The entirely new structure of light could help drug developers see their work more clearly than before. An entirely new structure of light is helping to measure chirality in molecules more accurately ...

Light is composed of electric and magnetic fields that oscillate perpendicular to each other. When these oscillations are restricted, say, along a plane, it results in polarized light. Polarized light ...
The small Caenorhabditis elegans nematode avoids light. While it does not have eyes, some of its cells contain a protein called LITE-1, which warns it of the sun, whose rays are dangerous for the ...
Thermoelectric materials convert heat to electricity and vice versa, and their atomic structures are closely related to how well they perform. Now researchers have discovered how to change the atomic ...
Warsaw, [Poland], April 5 (ANI): Researchers have created a nanoscale structure that traps infrared light in a layer just 40 nanometres thick–over 1,000 times thinner than a human hair. By using a ...
