Mathematics has a branch called topology that studies the properties of shapes and objects that remain unchanged even when ...

Prof. Dan Shechtman of the Technion–Israel Institute of Technology made the discovery that would later earn him the 2011 ...

"Instead, we propose that the brain uses waves to perform computations in a highly distributed and parallelized manner. The interference patterns produced by such wave-based responses facilitate a ...

When light waves reflect off these mirrors, the difference in path length leads to interference patterns that depend on the layer’s thickness and the wavelength of the light. To visualize this ...

Interference can arise with one source of waves where the waves travel different distances before meeting. The difference in the distance travelled (the path difference) must be a full number of ...
