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

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

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

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 ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

"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 ...
