NYU scientists are using light to precisely control how tiny particles organize themselves into crystals. Their research, published in Chem, provides a simple and reversible method for forming ...

Researchers at NYU have developed a way to use light to precisely direct how microscopic particles assemble into crystals. The findings, published today (February 24) in the Cell Press journal Chem, ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Scientists have demonstrated after decades of theorising how light interacts with vacuum, recreating a bizarre phenomenon predicted by quantum physics. Oxford University physicists ran simulations to ...

Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
