Flashing a laser into the cockpit of an airplane can distract, even temporarily blind pilots. Minnesota incidents have ...

Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out ...

Lo and behold, readings from a sensor pointed at the surface the blue laser was illuminating revealed a shadow in the shape ...

This could enable new tech for controlling light with light, opening doors to advanced fabrication, imaging, and illumination ...

Shadows are a natural consequence of opaque walls in an illuminated Universe. Light shines; photons travel until they hit an ...

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams ...

Brookhaven researchers have revealed that a laser beam can cast a shadow through nonlinear optical processes, challenging ...

The technique works because the green laser (wavelength 532 nanometers) changes the way the crystal responds to some other ...

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam ...

The green laser acts like an ordinary object while the blue laser acts like illumination. The interaction between the two light sources created a shadow on a screen that was visible as a dark area ...

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam casting a visible shadow.Led ...
