A rapidly spinning, profoundly dense object is blasting a "flame-like" beam into space. It's a type of neutron star — the remnants of a collapsed, exploded star so dense that just a sugar cube-sized ...

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, ...

Can light itself, perhaps from a laser, cast a shadow? It might seem like a trick question, but the answer to this is "yes." ...

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

Researchers used a ruby crystal and specific laser wavelengths to demonstrate that a laser beam could obstruct light and ...

Scientists have shown that laser light, under certain conditions, can behave like an object and cast a shadow.

In a new study, researchers used a ruby crystal and specific laser wavelengths to show that a laser beam can block light and ...

Laser beams have been shown to cast shadows, defying previous notions that light cannot block light. This phenomenon, ...

In a discovery that challenges conventional optics, scientists have managed to make a laser beam cast its own shadow—a feat ...

Typically, photons pass through each other without interacting, but the Ottawa experiment revealed an effect in which the ...
