Physicists from Trinity College Dublin believe new insights into the behavior of light may offer a new means of solving one ...

Human bodies are not quite as dark as they look. A growing body of research suggests that living tissue constantly releases ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a ...

Now, two unrelated-but-similar experiments confirm that, in a double-slit experiment, detection of a photon’s path (its ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still ...

It is remarkable that Raman spectra can, with the help of statistical inference, be used to predict cellular physiology and proteome composition. By making this possible, the work of Kamei et al. has ...

A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...

Scientists at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have, for the first time, demonstrated a technique that synchronizes ultrashort ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

An extraordinary experiment on mice and leaves from two different plant species has uncovered direct physical evidence of an ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...
