Researchers from the University of Sydney and the University of Basel in Switzerland have made a significant breakthrough in the field of quantum technology by demonstrating the manipulation and ...

A 'boom' of light that appears when a particle exceeds the speed of light set by a medium could, in other contexts, signal a ...

A new study takes the GHZ paradox, which describes how quantum theory can't be described by local realistic descriptions, to ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first ...

Light can be sculpted into countless shapes. Yet building optical devices that can simultaneously manipulate many different ...

Using the Super Proton Synchrotron, the team created beams of electron-positron pairs and passed them through a meter-long region of plasma. This setup served as a scaled laboratory version of a ...

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

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to watch the inner workings of atoms. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz, and ...
