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

Researchers create a visible shadow using only a laser beam, an achievement that seemingly defies conventional physics.

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

Brookhaven researchers have revealed that a laser beam can cast a shadow through nonlinear optical processes, challenging ...

To ask if a beam of light can make a shadow sounds like a sort of Zen paradox, but physicists have demonstrated the ...

Researchers showed that a laser beam can sometimes act like a solid object and cast a shadow that is visible to the naked eye. In the picture, the shadow appears as the horizontal line traversing the ...

But producing a small spot size with blue light has been tricky, says Hiroshi Ohno, who manages the laser development team to which Hagino belongs. A high brightness laser beam requires both high ...

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam ...

WASHINGTON - Can light itself cast a shadow? It may sound like a philosophical riddle, but researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a ...
