Researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology have measured “dark points” inside light waves that appear to ...

For decades, astronomers have been puzzled by strange “zebra stripe” patterns in radio waves from the Crab Pulsar — bright bands separated by complete darkness. Now, new research suggests the answer ...

Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by ...

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...
