WASP-104b, the darkest planet detected with absorption of more than 99% of light
A team of researchers has made a fascinating discovery about a planet’s ability to absorb 99% of the light that reflects on it. The planet is the question is equivalent to the size of Jupiter located around 466 million light-years away from our planet. Its distinct feature is its blackness where it blocks 99% of […]
Scientists successfully inverted the circularly propagating optical waves
A new study has revealed that the optical waves or light waves can be turned upside down when they are allowed to propagate through specifically structured surfaces. Normally what happens is that the optical waves emerging out from a point source propagate circularly. That means the optical waves traveling away from a point source characteristically […]
Scientists find answer to “Why the lights don’t mute while we blink?”
In the interval of few seconds, our eyelids involuntarily blink and our eyeballs restore in their pouch. But have you ever thought, why doesn’t frequent blinking push us into sporadic darkness and light? Well, now a mutual study, conducted by a team of researcher from the UC Berkeley, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, Dartmouth College […]
