Ultrafast optical measurements expose buried crystal flaws in atom-thin insulating films, offering a non-destructive route to ...

Thomas Young, born 250 years ago this week, was a polymath who made seminal contributions in fields from physics to Egyptology. But perhaps his most enduring legacy is proving Isaac Newton wrong about ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

[Stoppi] has taken on a fascinating project involving the interference of thin layers, a phenomenon often observed in everyday life but rarely explored in such depth. This project delves into the ...

This study is led by Dr. Junyang Liu and Prof. Wenjing Hong from Xiamen University. The molecular synthesis is done by Prof. Zhong-Ning Chen (State Key Laboratory of Structural Chemistry, Fujian ...

Optical interference is not only a fundamental phenomenon that has enabled new theories of light to be derived, but it has also been used in interferometry for the measurement of small displacements, ...
