Oxford scientists have simulated light interacting with “empty” space—a strange quantum effect that sounds like science fiction but is rooted in real physics. Incredibly, the simulation shows light ...

Physicists at the University of Oxford have successfully simulated how light interacts with empty space—a phenomenon once ...

A diagram illustrating how the experimental setup worked The effect works thanks to some intriguing optical physics. Where the green laser hits the ruby, it increases the amount of blue light the ...

They then shot a different blue laser through the same material at a ... and to explore whether the same effect can be reproduced using other wavelengths and materials.
