Ship waves, the complex patterns generated as vessels displace water, remain a subject of significant scientific and engineering interest. Traditionally described by Kelvin’s theory of ship wakes, ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same ...

Researchers in Drexel University’s College of Engineering have developed a thin film device, fabricated by spray coating, that can block electromagnetic radiation with the flip of a switch. The ...

Fig. 1 THz wave generation from MoS2 through quantum interference. (a) Schematic diagram of THz wave generation from MoS2 under two-color light excitation at normal incidence. (b) THz waveforms ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls of water in the open ocean to ghostly ripples inside atoms. What has ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...
