Can light itself cast a shadow? It may sound like a philosophical riddle, but researchers have found that under certain ...

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

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out ...

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

Researchers have made a significant breakthrough by observing how light can block other light, creating a visible shadow.

This could enable new tech for controlling light with light, opening doors to advanced fabrication, imaging, and illumination ...

Abrahao from Brookhaven National Laboratory, researchers observed that under specific conditions, one laser beam can block ...

The technique works because the green laser (wavelength 532 nanometers) changes the way the crystal responds to some other ...

In this mechanism of acceleration, electrons "surf" a laser-generated plasma wave, gaining an energy up to 3 GeV—99.999999% ...

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