Using probably one of the fastest cameras in the world, scientists from Washington University in St. Louis amazingly captured a photonic Mach cone, or a sonic boom of light, in action for the first ...

Making waves: a photonic Mach cone has been captured by ultrafast, single-shot technique. (Courtesy: Jinyang Liang and Lihong Wang) The optical equivalent of a sonic boom has been filmed for the first ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are finally able to capture moving imagery of an optical Mach cone, thanks to a newly constructed apparatus. While scientists believed that the Mach ...

A team of researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has taken images of a laser pulse generating an optical Mach cone: the equivalent of a sonic boom, but for light. To make an optical Mach ...

Just as aircraft flying at supersonic speeds create cone-shaped sonic booms, pulses of light can leave behind cone-shaped wakes of light. Now, a superfast camera has captured the first-ever video of ...

For the first time ever, researchers have invented a camera fast enough to record the scattering of light. The team used this “speed of light” camera to record moving footage of a photonic Mach cone — ...

A light-speed event requires an even faster camera. A new camera setup has captured the first film of a photonic Mach cone – basically, a sonic boom with light – in real time. “Our camera is different ...

As residents of Chicago learned last week, sonic booms can cause damage such as broken windows, minor structural damage, and psychological unsettlement. While a sonic boom can be awe-inspiring—and ...
