A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has taken images of a laser pulse generating an optical Mach cone: the equivalent of a sonic boom, but for light. To make an optical Mach ...

For the first time, scientists have captured the elusive light scattering phenomenon that occurs when a particle travels at supersonic speed. This event, known as the Mach cone, is much like the sonic ...

Using probably one of the fastest cameras in the world, scientists from Washington University in St. Louis amazingly captured a photonic Mach cone, or a sonic boom of light, in action for the first ...
