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

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening ...

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 ...

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams ...

Shadows are a natural consequence of opaque walls in an illuminated Universe. Light shines; photons travel until they hit an ...

Flashing a laser into the cockpit of an airplane can distract, even temporarily blind pilots. Minnesota incidents have ...

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

With the help of a ruby cube and two laser beams, researchers made one ray of light cast a shadow when illuminated by the ...

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

"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 ...
