When light enters opaque white materials like paint, foam, or tissue, the photons are scattered like pinballs. So light doesn’t

When light travels from A to B through a transparent material, it takes a path whose prescription has been well-known

Researchers from the Complex Photonic Systems (COPS) group used two layers of random materials to encrypt and decrypt a message

How good a photonic crystal is is very dependent on the fabrication. Large deviations from the ideal result in decreased

Light scattered by nanoparticles is at the basis of the rich colors of stained glass in medieval buildings or of

Tracking the position of a single particle within opaque samples, such as paint, foam, and tissue, is a major challenge
