When an intense laser pulse hits an electron at rest, the latter performs a quiver motion with the frequency of the light ...

A flash of light hits a simple iron crystal. In the space of a trillionth of a second, its magnetic behavior shifts, as if the solid briefly becomes something else.

Over the past several decades, researchers have been making rapid progress in harnessing light to enable all sorts of ...

Scientists have discovered that light’s long-ignored magnetic field may directly drive the Faraday effect.

For decades, scientists have sought ways to compress the tools of optical science – lasers, lenses, mirrors – onto chips that fit on a fingertip. Such ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Following as many as four Nd:YAG-laser vitreolysis procedures, mean IOP actually increased slightly from 14.2 to 15.3 mm Hg and the logMAR (minimum angle of resolution) declined from 0.14 at baseline ...

ViewSonic laser projectors power artist Lucinda Dilworth’s immersive installation, delivering high brightness, precise colour ...
