Light is a type of electromagnetic radiation that can be detected by the eye. It travels as a transverse wave. Unlike a sound waves, light waves do not need a medium to pass through, they can ...

Finding new ways to slow fleeting waves of light or even stop them in their tracks could lead to more advanced photonic devices, such as lasers, LED displays, fiber-optics, and sensors.

From the depths of space—too deep to be reached by astronomers’ light-telescopes—mysterious bodies continually bombard the earth with radio waves. No one knows much about these tuneless ...

Atoms, electrons, light waves, none of these things followed the normal rules. As physicists like Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein began to study particles, they discovered new physics laws that ...

They envision robots and self-driving cars that can see like mantis shrimp, differentiating among light waves with different ... a professor of macromolecular science and engineering and a member ...
