For the first time, scientists visualized how electrons behave during a chemical reaction, which could help reduce unwanted byproducts in future chemistry.

New astrophysics model sheds light on additional source of long gamma-ray bursts Date: November 29, 2023 Source: Simons Foundation Summary: Cutting-edge computer simulations combined with ...

Scientists directly observed tiny lattice deformations in quantum dots caused by electron-hole pairs, key for advancing solar cells and LEDs.

Researchers combine X-rays and laser light to image sprays New approach could lead to more efficient and less polluting fuel combustion Date: January 30, 2020 Source: The Optical Society Summary ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different ...

Gamma-ray bursts, the most powerful kinds of explosions known in the universe, can generate even more energetic light beams than astronomers previously realized, according to a set of new studies.

These rays are charged particles such as protons, electrons and some ions that were accelerated to nearly the speed of light by intense magnetic fields in the supernova.

Sleepy Hollow High School students made an outstanding showing in this year’s national Physics Photo Contest, earning more recognition than any other school represented in the Top 100 submissions. Out ...

This general similarity to the behavior of light crossing through convex and concave lenses is consistent with the idea that foraging ants, like light rays, use time-reducing paths.
