For the first time, physicists in Italy have created a 'lump soliton': an extremely stable packet of light waves which can ...

Protons can surf some truly gnarly waves. A new experiment suggests that the subatomic particles can be accelerated by a process akin to surfers catching waves. The protons get a speed boost not from ...

Researchers have developed a new theory for observing a quantum vacuum that could lead to new insights into the behavior of black holes. The Unruh effect combines quantum physics and the theory of ...

Physicists have finally confirmed a phenomenon that sounds like pure science fiction: waves that appear to bounce off a sudden change in time rather than a surface in space. The effect, known as a ...

As drones survey forests, robots navigate warehouses and sensors monitor city streets, more of the world’s decision-making is ...

Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is ...

Nick is a PhD student currently investigating wave propagation in aperiodic and non-Euclidean media with a focus on networks and lattice structures. Previously, he obtained his BA in physics at ...
