The ability of Airy light beams to transport microparticles along curved, self-healed paths may lead to useful applications in biology and colloidal science. Interest in the trapping and sorting of ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from UB and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances, 10.29026/oea.2024.230171 discusses a miniature tunable airy beam optical meta-device. The Airy beam has attracted extensive research interest due to ...

As we all know, light on its own tends to travel in a straight line. When it gets sent through an aperture like a flashlight, diffraction occurs, which causes the beam to widen and lose its intensity.

If you shine a beam of light from a laser or flashlight, the beam will spread out over distance, becoming wider and less intense far from the source. That phenomenon is called diffraction, and it is ...

Go with the flow: tracing 1-micron-diameter fluorescent particles using the twin-Airy-beam technique produces a 3D map of blood flow in a zebrafish. Each colour represents a different particle. The ...

New images generated by Airy light-sheet microscopy (LSM) using a platform from M Squared Lasers are helping researchers to see the firing of individual nerves in animal tissues, and indicate the ...

In a physics first, a team including scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has created a way to make beams of neutrons travel in curves. These Airy beams (named for ...
