It’s in your physics textbook, go look. It says that you can either model light as an electromagnetic wave OR you can model light a stream of photons. You can’t use both models at the same time. It’s ...

Scientists at the University of Oxford demonstrate an approach to interpreting how materials interact with polarized light, ...

Researchers have developed a computational approach for simulating interactions between matter and light at the atomic scale. The team tested their method by modeling light -- matter interactions in a ...

A research team has developed a new way to measure and predict how plant leaves scatter and reflect light, revealing that ...

A 3D-rotational modeling approach used to estimate the light-blocking effect of microalgae. Rotation and tilting of a shape-realistic 3D model of Ceratium furcoides (Levander) Langhans in a virtual ...

There's an episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation in which John de Lancie's nearly-omnipotent alien character "Q" is stripped of his powers and banished to the Enterprise as a human because fans of ...
