The quantum mirage phenomenon suggests data can be transferred wirelessly. IBM scientists used a scanning tunneling microscope to demonstrate this by creating an ellipse of cobalt atoms on a copper crystal. Moving the cobalt atom to one of the focal points of the ellipse created a wave through the electrons contained in the cobalt necklace […]
Mirages are caused by the bending of light waves through refraction, which occurs when light passes through different materials. Inferior mirages occur when heat radiates from the ground and bends light, creating a double image that looks like a reflection in water. Superior mirages occur when a cold air mass is under a warm air […]
