Standing waves are one of those topics that lots of people have a working knowledge of, but few seem to really grasp. A Ham radio operator will tell you all about the standing wave ratio (SWR ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

This one looks a bit like a wormhole in space. At certain frequencies, the waves resonate perfectly to create Faraday or standing waves. Basically, the waves line up so well, the liquid takes on a ...

Offers new possibilities to control light across the spectrum and insight into light–matter interactions. The device, reported in Advanced Photonics, functions as an optical black hole or optical ...
