Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new path for storing far more data in the same physical space. A research team led ...

TONIGHT: Thickening clouds with some light snow towards morning. Low: 28 TUESDAY: Cloudy with morning light snow becoming a wintry mix and then light rain later in the day; a coating to an inch of ...

Many animal tissues (e.g., muscle fibers and collagen) are translucent yet exhibit rich optical properties such as scattering and diffraction. In this study, we show that transparent muscle tissue in ...
