New research shows that light’s magnetic field is far more influential than scientists once believed. The team found that this magnetic component significantly affects how light rotates as it passes ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

New research has revealed for the first time the full extent of how "Artificial Light At Night" (ALAN) is increasing carbon released by plants and animals across continents—without any increase in the ...

Abstract: Light scattering imposes a major obstacle for imaging objects seated deeply in turbid media, such as biological tissues and foggy air. Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) tackles scattering by ...

Abstract: We present an analytical approach to model light propagation in a highly scattering, opaque organic scintillator, as used in the novel positron emission tomography detector concept LiquidO.

JADE-DLS is a python-script embedded in jupyter to determine the hydrodynamic radius with data from dynamic light scattering (DLS). As input it uses the normalized time autocorrelation function ...

Physicists have discovered that when beams of light interact at the quantum level, they can generate ghost-like particles that briefly emerge from nothing and affect real matter. This rare phenomenon, ...

Light can scatter off light, revealing ghostly particles and clues to cracking the universe’s fundamental laws. Credit: SciTechDaily.com In a fascinating dive into the strange world of quantum physics ...

Usually, light waves can pass through each other without any resistance. According to the laws of electrodynamics, two light beams can exist in the same place without influencing each other; they ...
