From hundreds of miles above Earth, a NASA satellite has just watched a giant tsunami unfold in unprecedented detail, turning ...

Thousands of Americans have been warned of possible coastal property damage amid concerns over highly dangerous water conditions. On Friday, the National Weather Service has issued beach hazard and ...

Optical dispersion occurs when the refractive index of a material changes with the wavelength of incoming light. This variation causes different colors to move at different speeds in transparent media ...

Rising sea levels and stronger storms are a byproduct of climate change. Hurricane Erin may not make landfall, but it still could have devastating consequences for East Coast residents. The first ...

Last year, onlookers observed a startling site on China’s Qiantang River: waves forming a grid-like pattern. Dubbed the “matrix tide,” this complex wave pattern was caused by the river’s famed tidal ...

Physicists at MIT recreated the double-slit experiment using individual photons and atoms held in laser light, uncovering the true limits of light’s wave–particle duality. Their results proved ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...

MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum physics. Their findings demonstrate, with atomic-level precision, the dual yet evasive nature of ...

Researchers use DNA nanotechnology to build layered lattice structures that produce new interference patterns with unique physical properties and nanoscale control. (Nanowerk News) Researchers are ...
