Scientists have created an optical device capable of mimicking black holes and the still hypothetical white holes. This ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending ...

A team of researchers has engineered a groundbreaking optical device that mimics the physics of black holes and their ...

Unlike visible light or radio waves ... configurations with large aspect ratio successfully generated THz waves with tunable polarization, and by adjusting the azimuth angles of stripe pattern ...

Offers new possibilities to control light across the spectrum and insight into light–matter interactions. The device, reported in Advanced Photonics, functions as an optical black hole or optical ...

After five years of staring unblinking at the sky, the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) has compiled the most detailed map we've ever seen of the cosmic microwave background – the faint light that ...

and polarization of light. "Using metasurfaces, we can influence the temporal shift, intensity, and direction of oscillation of light waves in a targeted way," says Dr. Maryna Leonidivna Meretska ...
