One could argue, we’re already living a dystopian fantasy. Deep in reflection, as we all were over the last year, singer-songwriter Dan Smith took it one step further to write a song imagining where ...

A quantum optics approach relying on symmetry breaking allows wavefront correction without using a guide star.

Transmitting optical information through highly distorting media has long been a challenge. Atmospheric turbulence, fog, and ...

Structured light passing through a noisy environment gets distorted (a), but if another unstructured beam also gains the same distortion, the effect can be undone by mixing them in a nonlinear crystal ...

Researchers have made a new discovery on how light behaves in complex media, media that tends to distort light significantly. They demonstrated that 'distortion' is a matter of perspective, outlining ...

Researchers have used a special crystal to bend the trajectory of light like a black hole would, a phenomenon known as 'pseudogravity.' When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

If you have ever peered down a highway on a sunny day, you have probably seen the rising, wavelike ripples of heated air that distort the appearance of objects near the horizon. Similar disturbances ...

Physicists have designed a kind of communication system that can send data in the form of voice, text and images over long distances using light 1. The newly designed system can send data through air ...
