Advancements in structured illumination and computational imaging are revolutionizing semiconductor wafer inspection, ...

Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have experimentally confirmed that 'dark points'—regions of zero ...

Have you ever wished to drive microscopic matter along an arbitrarily tailored trajectory instead of just a circle? That's ...

Scientists have provided the first direct experimental evidence of so-called “dark points” within light waves.

For the first time, researchers measured singularities in combined light and sound waves moving faster than the speed of ...

In a lab at Osaka University, physicist Yoshiki Nakata and his colleagues fired a pulsed laser through a stack of three ...

Darkness can outrun light, at least in the lab. Scientists have captured “dark points” moving faster than light, confirming a decades-old prediction. It sounds paradoxical at first. Light, after all, ...

Scientists experimentally confirmed what we’ve known to be true for half a century—darkness can “travel” faster than light.

For the first time, physicists have observed that 'holes' in light can move faster than the light itself. They're known as phase singularities or optical vortices, and since the 1970s, scientists have ...
