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 ...

In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat previously thought impossible, as light typically passes through other light ...

The submicron light sources are realized only by the normal UV photolithography process, enabling the realization of submicron light sources with arbitrary patterns. A novel and efficient method for ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of optical ...

The bedside table becomes part of this rhythm, shaping how light is absorbed, reflected, or softened. Understanding how shape ...

Feeling cramped in your home? You don't need to knock down walls to create a more spacious feel. Lighting plays a huge role in how we perceive space, and with a few smart tricks, you can transform ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...
