Light is something we interact with every day, but have you ever wondered what the shape of a single particle of light — the photon — actually looks like? For the first time, researchers have defined ...
The man was looking for caves, but he instead spotted a mysterious shape on the ground. It looked like a long, slender line running mostly east-west. The mark wasn’t perfectly straight—it ...
That's like saying the shape of a single electron orbital (e.g. in hydrogen) is the shape of the electron. It's a stance one can take, but it's not how this language is usually applied.
How few corners can a shape have and still tile the plane?” mathematician Gábor Domokos asked me over pizza. His deceptively simple question was about the geometry of tilings, also called ...
A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. A new theory, that ...
Co-author, Professor Angela Demetriadou, also at the University of Birmingham, said: “The geometry and optical properties of the environment has profound consequences for how photons are emitted, ...
