Fig. 2: Interference of plane waves can create topological structures by water spin, polarization, velocity and displacement. a, A single plane wave propagating along the x axis carrying ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology, working with colleagues in Norway and Chile, recreated the Aharonov–Bohm effect using water waves in a vortex tank, finding unexpected ...
