In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam casting a visible shadow.Led ...

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams ...

Brookhaven researchers have revealed that a laser beam can cast a shadow through nonlinear optical processes, challenging ...

Researchers create a visible shadow using only a laser beam, an achievement that seemingly defies conventional physics.

To create the chip, researchers used an integrated optical phase array, which contains microscale antennae that are ...

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

The technique works because the green laser (wavelength 532 nanometers) changes the way the crystal responds to some other ...

This could enable new tech for controlling light with light, opening doors to advanced fabrication, imaging, and illumination ...

From Lumie to Philips, we tried and tested the best sunrise alarm clocks, with wake-up lights to combat seasonal affective ...

Shadows are a natural consequence of opaque walls in an illuminated Universe. Light shines; photons travel until they hit an ...

This effect occurs when light interacts with a material in an intensity-dependent ... The researchers experimentally measured the dependence of the shadow's contrast on the laser beam's power, finding ...
