New news about neutrinos moving faster than the spead of light?

AI Thread Summary
Recent news suggests that neutrinos may be moving faster than the speed of light, prompting significant concern and confusion within the physics community. This phenomenon challenges established physics principles, leading to discussions about the implications for our understanding of the universe. Many participants express feelings of uncertainty regarding the validity of these findings and their potential impact on current theories. An extensive ongoing discussion is already addressing these issues in detail. The situation remains fluid as more information becomes available.

Thread 'A quartet of epi-illumination methods'

Well, it took almost 20 years (!!!), but I finally obtained a set of epi-phase microscope objectives (Zeiss). The principles of epi-phase contrast is nearly identical to transillumination phase contrast, but the phase ring is a 1/8 wave retarder rather than a 1/4 wave retarder (because with epi-illumination, the light passes through the ring twice). This method was popular only for a very short period of time before epi-DIC (differential interference contrast) became widely available. So...

Thread 'Effective absorption coefficient of gold nanoparticles'

I am currently undertaking a research internship where I am modelling the heating of silicon wafers with a 515 nm femtosecond laser. In order to increase the absorption of the laser into the oxide layer on top of the wafer it was suggested we use gold nanoparticles. I was tasked with modelling the optical properties of a 5nm gold nanoparticle, in particular the absorption cross section, using COMSOL Multiphysics. My model seems to be getting correct values for the absorption coefficient and...
