Shedding light on pilot-wave phenomena
VIDEO 1. (a) A droplet of an approximate diameter of 1 mm bounces on the surface of a vibrating oil bath. (b) For sufficiently large values of the vertical forcing, a droplet may spontaneously self-propel across the interface. Droplet pairs may interact through their wave fields, either (c) locking into orbits or (d) walking side by side in a promenade mode. (e) Multiple drops may organize into...
متن کاملShedding Light on Light*
There are four books describing early studies and views on light, optics and vision that are considered to be landmarks in this branch of science. The first of these is Euclid’s Optica, published about 300BC, in which he postulated that light travelled in straight lines; he described the laws of reflection and described them mathematically. The second is by Ptolemy. He is best known for his 15 ...
متن کاملVisualization of hydrodynamic pilot-wave phenomena
The reflection of an object can be distorted by undulations of the reflector, be it a funhouse mirror or a fluid surface. Painters and photographers have long exploited this effect, for example, in imaging scenery distorted by ripples on a lake. Here, we use this phenomenon to visualize micrometric surface waves generated as a millimetric droplet bounces on the surface of a vibrating fluid bath...
متن کاملShedding light on NSOM.
I took patience and hard work. Now, finally, researchers are seeing some sunshine break through what was once a cloudy beginning for near-field scanning optical microscopy (NSOM). Paul Barbara of the University of Texas–Austin (UT– Austin) is among a group of analytical chemists who have a deep respect for this tool and see it as a technique ripe with potential, ranging from chemistry to physic...
متن کاملShedding Light on Adaptation
One of the most remarkable features of the vertebrate retina is its ability to adapt to ambient illumination. One can read from this page by candlelight or one can read from it on a sunny afternoon, but the page always appears white and the letters black. It is the molecular trickery of light adaptation that enables photoreceptors to evade saturation and accurately report relative contrast even...
