Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS Independent manipulations of various properties of EM waves are crucially required in a wide range of ...

Physicists have found that large-amplitude acoustic waves, launched by ultrashort laser pulses, can dynamically manipulate the optical response of semiconductors. One of the main challenges in ...

Scientists have developed innovative aerogels for radiative cooling and electromagnetic waves absorption. Using plastic waste, the team engineered thin-film aerogels that function as thermal ...

The study reveals distinctive red and blue Doppler shifts, confirming the presence of Alfven waves in the Sun's corona.

Pyramid power: radio waves incident from above are focussed to a region below the pyramid (shown in red). Also in red are the waves concentrated in the rectangular King's Chamber within the pyramid.

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: For more than 50 years, scientists theorized that an electromagnetic wave could be reflected temporally—not just spatially. Scientists have been ...

A recent discovery by materials science researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering might one day prevent electronic devices and components from going haywire when they’re too close to ...
