Waves do not spread in a disordered medium if there is less than one wavelength between two defects. Physicists from the universities of Zurich and Constance have now proved Nobel Prize winner Philip ...

With a dramatic boost in computing capability, a team of researchers has solved a decades-long mystery about whether optical waves can be trapped in three-dimensional randomly packed micro- or ...

More than 50 million people of all ages suffer from epilepsy, otherwise known as seizure disorder, the fourth most common neurological disease in the world. Patients diagnosed with epilepsy often ...

Researchers in the UK say they have observed behaviour that is very close to an optical version of “Anderson localization” in a mat of gallium-phosphide nanowires – a material that is a strong ...

The total amount of money invested in the project. The total cost includes EU contribution as well as other project costs not covered by EU funding. It is expressed in euros. Amount of money, by way ...

Two independent teams of physicists have used ultracold atomic gases to demonstrate how a little bit of disorder can paralyse a quantum system — an effect called “Anderson localization”. Their ...

The 2022 Simons Collaboration on Localization of Waves Annual Meeting will bring together world leading mathematicians and physicists whose work illuminates profound connections between disorder, ...

A flat optical device is designed to allow light to travel unimpeded along its edges, even in the presence of defects. Figure 1: Artist’s representation of edge states in an array of silicon ...

Waves do not spread in a disordered medium if there is less than one wavelength between two defects. Physicists have now proved Nobel Prize winner Philip W. Anderson's theory directly for the first ...
