Researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast a shadow, opening new possibilities for technologies that could use a laser beam to control ...

In a recent study, researchers from the University of Ottawa have demonstrated a remarkable new phenomenon: a laser beam casting a visible shadow. Typically, photons - light particles - pass through ...

After discussing the quirks in 3D modeling software, where a laser beam is treated as a solid object that can cast a shadow, scientists decided to experiment in real life — and found that laser beams ...

A team of scientists has found that the narrow beam of a laser, under specific conditions, can cast a shadow — a counterintuitive finding that could open the doors for new applications of optical ...

Shadows have been integral to humanity’s exploration of light and its properties. From their depiction in ancient shadow puppetry to their role in groundbreaking scientific discoveries, shadows have ...

For the experiment, a high-power green laser was directed through ruby cube and illuminated with a blue laser from the side. The green laser increases the optical absorption of the blue illuminating ...

(Nanowerk News) Can light itself cast a shadow? It may sound like a philosophical riddle, but researchers have found that under certain conditions, a laser beam can act like an opaque object and cast ...
