Physicist Ralf Schützhold proposes an experiment to manipulate gravitational waves using light, potentially enabling the transfer of energy between light and gravitational waves and providing insights into the quantum nature of gravity, building on the principles of interferometry similar to LIGO.
Recent research suggests that dark matter could influence the color of light from distant galaxies, either slightly blue-shifting or red-shifting it depending on its properties, which might help us better understand its nature. The study explores how dark matter interactions could subtly affect light, offering a new way to investigate this elusive component of the universe.
Researchers have discovered that under certain conditions, a laser beam can cast a shadow, challenging traditional understandings of light and shadow. By directing a high-power green laser through a ruby crystal and illuminating it with a blue laser, the green laser increased the optical absorption of the blue light, creating a visible shadow. This finding, published in Optica, opens new possibilities for technologies that use laser beams to control other light sources, such as optical switching and precise light transmission control.
