Simulations reveal Anderson transition for light in 3D disordered systems

The article from MSN discusses a significant advancement in the field of physics, specifically regarding the Anderson transition in three-dimensional (3D) disordered systems. Researchers have utilized extensive computer simulations to explore how light behaves in such environments, where disorder can lead to the localization of light waves. The Anderson transition refers to the critical point where light transitions from being localized to diffusing freely through the medium. This study, published in *Optica*, provides insights into the nature of this transition, showing that in 3D systems, the transition is not as sharp as previously thought but exhibits a more complex behavior. The findings could have implications for technologies like solar cells, where controlling light propagation could enhance efficiency, and in the development of new materials with tailored optical properties.
