Planetary scientists have published a detailed follow-up on the debris from their historic 2022 asteroid impact experiment in outer space. What they found challenges their understanding of the ...

Scientists continue to pore over the results of NASA’s stunningly successful DART test to deflect a harmless asteroid. As the latest findings suggest, the recoil created by the blast of debris spewing ...

Scientists for the first time demonstrated Young's experiment for photons in the reciprocal space. Spin patterns corresponding to the persistent spin helix and the Stern-Gerlach experiment are ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...

A pioneering method has emerged for manipulating laser beams using sound waves alone. These days, powerful laser beams are essential in scientific research, from particle accelerators to nuclear ...

The Nasa probe that struck an asteroid in September to try to deflect its path had a bigger effect because of all the debris it kicked out. The Dart mission slammed into egg-shaped Dimorphos to ...
