Einstein's light quanta through the lens of Maxwell's equations

Light was long considered to be a wave, exhibiting the phenomenon of interference in which ripples like those in water waves are generated under specific interactions. Light also bends around corners, resulting in fringing ...

The einstein problem: Molecular chirality leads to unexpected aperiodic patterns on metal surfaces

Standing at the intersection between mathematics and the tiler's trade is the so-called einstein problem. Despite its name, this mathematical question has nothing to do with the Nobel Prize winner Albert Einstein. It asks: ...

Eliminating singularities: Physicists describe the creation of black holes through pure gravity

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e., points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how singularities are resolved ...
