Dark spots in light waves may appear to disrupt the speed of light, according to new research from scientists at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, confirming the predictions of a half-century-old theory. What the team calls “dark points” are actually vortices – tiny holes in the wave structure of light – as revealed in a … Read more
In the world of quantum physics, amazing events happen at incredible speeds. Processes that are thought to happen instantaneously, such as quantum entanglement, are now measured directly in tiny fractions of a second – attoseconds. It is like spending a short time revealing subtle details hidden in plain sight. Together with a group … Read more
