• New Non-Linear Metasurface Changes Basic Properties of Light

  …rsal. Universal approach Most optical devices are based on controlling the phase of a lightwave. A phase is the relative oscillation of waves: they may oscillate simultaneously or with a certain delay. In nanodevices, the phase can be adjusted by means of, for example, exciting resonance. When you make a nanostructure resonate, it responds with a delay. Sin…

• Physicists Propose New Mechanism of Radio Emission in Neutron Stars

  …s. Scientists examined how electrons move near the surface of a neutron star. Electrons cannot go through the surface due to the high density of matter inside the star. Simultaneously, electrons are attracted to the surface of the star by strong gravity. As a result, particles are "trapped" in a thin layer just above the surface of the star. According to the laws …
