A recent preprint claims that we may someday be able to create gravitational waves in a lab. Through the use of “twisted” light, we could create powerful, high-frequency waves in a controlled setting.

The very fabric of the universe is ringing with gravitational waves from its earliest epoch, and researchers have finally "heard" this cosmic symphony. On Thursday, June 28, the North American ...

Radio telescopes let you study the universe by collecting faint radio waves from distant objects. To see extremely small targets, such as the regions around supermassive black holes, those telescopes ...

Researchers report their insights on the emerging field of complex frequencies excitations, a recently introduced scheme to control light, sound and other wave phenomena beyond conventional limits.

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...

Aug. 22, 2024 — SandiaNational Laboratories and Arizona State University are collaborating to combine quantum technology and large-scale optical systems into integrated microsystems. Nils Otterstrom, ...

Giant ripples in the fabric of space and time, light-years in scale, have been discovered for the first time, according to new research announced by astronomers. Gravitational waves of this scale are ...
