Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

Teflon objects (orange cylinders) were placed in a waveguide with a rectangular cross-section. Then, an electromagnetic signal (blue wavefront) was injected from the right to extract information about ...

An interdisciplinary study on the properties of waves in symmetric metamaterials, or materials engineered to have properties that do not occur naturally, is set to unlock a new area of physics with a ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...

Oscillations and Waves is one of the most scoring areas in NEET Physics. Solve these practice questions to improve accuracy, ...

The fabric of spacetime may be frothing with gigantic gravitational waves, and the possibility has sent physicists into a tizzy. A potential signal seen in the light from dead stellar cores known as ...

Researchers have directly observed torsional Alfvén waves twisting through the Sun’s corona — magnetic waves first predicted over 80 years ago. Captured using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, ...
