Scientists have developed a dual-laser Brillouin optical correlation-domain reflectometry (BOCDR) system that uses two ...

This effect is called Rayleigh scattering. Also read: Science Behind It: How Do Magnets Work? The light that reaches our eyes consists mostly of red and yellow shades, since the violet and blue ...

At moonrise, it will seem especially large and orange. This is due to the moon illusion and a light-scattering effect known as Rayleigh scattering, which makes it appear tinted during rise and set.

By studying polarisation, or the alignment of light waves, scientists have now determined that Compton scattering is likely responsible for producing X-rays in these extreme environments.

"Most people just dismiss partial eclipses. But I wanted to go to this partial eclipse to try to get the corona — and I did it! This has opened the door to new dreams and challenges." In an ...

Cluster algebras and scattering diagrams appear in diverse areas of mathematics and physics including total positivity, Seiberg duality, statistical physics models, noncommutative geometry, tropical ...

Key Laboratory of Ecology of Rare and Endangered Species and Environmental Protection (Guangxi Normal University), Ministry of Education, Guilin 541004, China Guangxi Key Laboratory of Environmental ...

The topics covered are Feynman diagram rules, microscopic mean-field theories (Hartree-Fock and Kohn-Sham theories, natural orbitals), many-body perturbation theory, large-scale diagonalization ...

Feynman path integrals are ubiquitous in quantum physics, even if a large part of the scientific community still considers them as a heuristic tool that lacks a sound mathematical definition. Our book ...

Local moonrise times may vary by region. As it rises or sets, the Flower Moon may take on a warm orange hue, a visual effect caused by Rayleigh scattering, the same atmospheric phenomenon ...
