Scientists Unveil the Unseen Shape of Single Photons

Scientists have developed a method to predict the shape of individual photons, the smallest units of light, by modeling their interactions with atoms and their environment. This breakthrough, published in Physical Review Letters, uses classical mechanics to simplify the complex wave-particle duality of photons, allowing for a better understanding of how light behaves in both near and far electromagnetic fields. This advancement could significantly impact the development of nano-optic technology, quantum computing, and photovoltaic energy cells.

NASA's Efforts to Prevent an Internet Apocalypse

Rumours of a global internet outage due to a severe solar storm have been circulating online. A solar storm refers to the atmospheric effects we experience on Earth that originate from the sun, typically caused by solar flares. NASA believes solar storms run on an 11-year cycle with their frequency varying. Their severity can also vary, with stronger geomagnetic storms causing interruptions to satellite, radio and internet functions. Should such an event strike today, there could be a worldwide blackout causing disruption for months, with its effects predicted to be 20 times that of a catastrophic hurricane due to its impact on the supply chain of essentials like foods and medication.

Gravity Found to Generate Light in New Physics Study

Physicists have discovered that in the early universe, waves of gravity may have created radiation by shaking space-time so hard that it spontaneously created light. During inflation, gravitational waves sloshed back and forth throughout the cosmos, creating standing wave patterns where the gravitational waves stood still, almost frozen in place throughout the cosmos. The regions of intense gravity may have excited the electromagnetic field enough to release some of its energy in the form of radiation, creating light.

Gravity Generates Light, Physicists Find

Physicists have discovered that in the early universe, waves of gravity may have created radiation through an exotic form of parametric resonance. Gravitational waves may have become very strong and created standing wave patterns where the waves stood still, almost frozen in place throughout the cosmos. The regions of intense gravity may have excited the electromagnetic field enough to release some of its energy in the form of radiation, creating light. This gives rise to an entirely new phenomenon: the production of light from gravity alone.
