Real physical waves, such as light beams, spread, diffract, scatter and interfere in complex and chaotic ways. An intriguing consequence of this is are 'singular' features of waves, such as optical ...

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows ...

Newton was such a giant on the scientific landscape that his rivals had little luck pushing the theory that light is a wave. The wave theory did not begin to rebound until the titans of 19th ...

Wave-particle duality and entanglement are cornerstone concepts in quantum physics, yet their exact relationship has long ...

"Since it is a direct prediction of Einstein's theory of general relativity ... "Some of the light affected by the ...

A group of international researchers have developed a way to use sound to generate different types of wave patterns on the ...

If a clean, positively charged zinc plate is exposed to intense white light it will not discharge. If a clean, negatively charged zinc plate is exposed to intense white light it will not discharge.

Finding the maximum and minimum of a wave function with a G-field could reconcile quantum theory with general relativity. If the clash between the theories is finally resolved, you end up with ...

But since he knew light was a wave composed of changing magnetic and electric fields, it couldn't truly be still. "One sees in this paradox the germ of the special relativity theory is already ...

In 1919, Albert Heyninx proposed that the nose identifies an odor molecule by the selective absorption of light ... wave number with psychophysical data, to no avail. Vibration theory lay dormant ...

If you adjust the light beam to accurately measure position ... soon shown to be equivalent to Erwin Schrödinger's more visualizable wave theory.) The uncertainty principle was hard even for ...
