Posted: Jan 31, 2011: Caustics in nanoscale ferromagnetic structures could lead to a microwave 'router' (Nanowerk Spotlight) A caustic is the envelope of light rays reflected or refracted by a curved ...

Researchers have found a way to control "caustics", the patterns that appear when light hits a water surface or any transparent material. Thanks to an elaborate algorithm, they can shape a ...

“All of the caustics, except one, wrap around the sky many times when the camera is close to the black hole. This sky-wrapping is caused by the black hole’s spin, ...

The presence of water caustics significantly increased the time for triggerfish to attack moving prey items compared to static caustic controls. Moreover, manipulating the sharpness and scale of water ...

Caustic substances injure tissue by means of a chemical reaction on direct physical contact. Often thought of as acids or bases, caustics broadly include desiccants, vesicants, and protoplasmic ...
