Scientists in Germany have crafted “skyrmion bags” of light—complex vortex-like structures—on the surface of gold by cleverly manipulating how laser beams interact with nano-etched patterns. This unus ...

Charged surfaces in contact with liquids—such as biological cell walls or battery electrodes—attract oppositely charged ions ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists analyzed far-away bodies -- known as Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) -- and found varying traces of methanol. The discoveries are helping them ...

A research group has manipulated light through its interaction with a metal surface so that it exhibits entirely new properties.
