NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively turning illumination into a tool for shaping matter. By adding light-sensitive ...

A new computational analysis supports the idea that photons (a.k.a. particles of light) colliding with heavy ions can create a fluid of 'strongly interacting' particles. In a new paper, they show that ...

Hi Ishan! Thanks for your great question. Light can be described both as a wave and as a particle. There are two experiments in particular that have revealed the dual nature of light. When we’re ...
