"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

When two or more light waves interact with one another, they result in the formation of different interference patterns. British physicist Thomas Young first demonstrated and explained these patterns ...

Where there's water, there are waves. But what if you could bend water waves to your will to move floating objects? Scientists have now developed a technique to merge waves in a water tank to produce ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...

Fig. 2: Interference of plane waves can create topological structures by water spin, polarization, velocity and displacement. a, A single plane wave propagating along the x axis carrying ...
