But in an experiment, as detailed in a new paper published in the journal Optica, Brookhaven National Laboratory researcher ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

"From there, we decided to conduct an experiment to demonstrate the shadow of a laser beam." To do this, the researchers directed a high-power green laser through a cube made of standard ruby crystal ...

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

With a diameter of just 300 micrometers, these generate a blue laser beam with a wavelength of 450 nanometers. A phosphor converter transforms this into roadworthy white light with a color ...
