Scientists test Einstein’s quantum challenge with one atom, directly measuring when photon paths erase interference stripes.

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Quantum interference, in particular, plays a key role. It occurs when different pathways that a molecule can take overlap, resulting in specific patterns of interaction: some pathways amplify each ...

Modern light interference technologies developed in Dresden, Germany, are enabling “lotus effects” and other refined structural features from the natural world to be transferred quickly to technical ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route ...

Aim is to provide “lotus effects” and other laser-created microstructures for wings, biological implants and more. Laser-generated “lotus effects“ can be transferred quickly to technical surfaces. A ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...
