Scientists have demonstrated a new fiber-optic sensing method that detects strain and displacement by reading interference patterns directly in the electrical spectrum of a photodetected signal. The ...

Tokyo, Japan – One of the simplest and most beautiful naturally occurring patterns can be observed when light is shined through a pair of slightly misaligned periodic structures. This phenomenon, ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

The basics of digital logic are pretty easy to master, and figuring out how the ones and zeroes flow through various kinds of gates is often an interesting exercise. Taking things down a level and ...

The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers. When you purchase through links on our ...

Researchers discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one-dimensional bands ...
