This timber and concrete laboratory at ... the windows strategically to make the most of the natural light, which also streams through the glass walls. The building recalls Holl's 2006 Bloch ...

Conventional optics forbids light from passing through holes that are much smaller than its wavelength, which for visible light means less than around 400 nanometres wide. But in 1998 ...

Placing a metal cap over a small hole in a metal film does not stop light passing through, but rather enhances its transmission, according to new research. A team at Princeton made an array of ...

Like a traffic cop directing cars, a layered stack of transparent materials permits light arriving from only a single direction to pass through. Such angle-sensitive filters could improve cameras ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to ...

In English, that means that the phase of light passing through this material can travel infinitely fast without violating the known laws of physics. See, the light passing through this ...
