The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

Sam Baron receives funding from the Australian Research Council. Hi Ishan! Thanks for your great question. Light can be described both as a wave and as a particle. There are two experiments in ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

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 ...

New ultrafast method for controlling magnetic materials might enable next-generation information processing technologies. This illustration shows that a pair of intense THz laser pulses drives spin ...

As days grow shorter and darker, it’s a good idea to invest in outdoor lights. These popular accessories don’t require any major installation or rewiring, and ...

I’ve always had an affinity for lights and lighting effects of all types. But, I especially like Christmas time because of all the bright, colorful lights on ...
