Everyone knows that light travels in a straight line — right? A couple of years back, however, physicists discovered something very different for certain laser pulses that have one intense peak next ...

Physicists have demonstrated accelerating light beams on flat surfaces, where acceleration has caused the beams to follow curved trajectories. However, a new experiment has pushed the boundaries of ...

US researchers are taking advantage of the unusual properties of Airy light to build a host of new optical tools. A team of researchers has found that sufficiently intense Airy pulses can ionize the ...
