Recent physics studies have found that light can sometimes flow in unexpected ways, behaving like a so-called "superfluid." ...

Scientists have discovered a centrosymmetric crystal that behaves as though it is chiral – absorbing left- and right-handed ...

A team of researchers has developed a novel method for using cholesteric liquid crystals in optical microcavities. The ...

EPFL scientists have developed a new technique that lets researchers watch, with unprecedented sensitivity, how materials ...

Light Is Waves: Crash Course Physics #39. ... it travels past the slit in a circular curve that spreads outward. When waves are re-shaped by obstacles, that's called diffraction. ...

The machine’s logistics are nearly incomprehensible without a degree in quantum physics, but its underlying mechanisms are relatively simple: basically, the LHC consists of a precise network of ...
