"Dark photon" theory says light's interference patterns may emerge from quantum particles, not waves, upending centuries of ...

Light’s dual nature, manifesting as both wave-like and particle-like behaviour, is a phenomenon known as wave-particle duality and remains one of the most perplexing mysteries in quantum mechanics.

Researchers at Tampere University and the University of Eastern Finland have reached a milestone in a study where they derived a new kind of wave equation, which applies for accelerating waves. The ...

Scientists are engineering electromagnetic waves to retrace their temporal paths, a breakthrough in wave physics. This 'time ...

Engineers need to precisely predict how instant and strong pressure changes initiate and dissipate to prevent damage during rocket launches, for example. A team from YOKOHAMA National University has ...

Researchers have shown how the principles of rogue waves -- huge 30-meter waves that arise unexpectedly in the ocean -- can be applied on a nano scale, with dozens of applications from medicine to ...

“Using newer mathematical tools, my colleague and I have demonstrated a new theory that may accurately describe the universe.

Tiny waves, big implications: Electron microscope image of the superfluid wave tank used in the experiments (blue) coupled to an optical fibre which brings laser light in and out of the device. The ...

Artificial intelligence is colliding with a hard physical limit: the energy and heat of today’s silicon-based chips. As ...

Scientists have discovered a way to efficiently transfer electrical current through specific materials at room temperature, a ...
