It’s all to do with the raindrops, says one reader, with them needing to be relatively uniform in size and well separated for ...

On October 21, 2025, scientists revealed a groundbreaking discovery in the realm of quantum physics: a hidden quantum trick ...

Researchers have for the first time created a reconfigurable polariton 2D quasicrystal. The team from the Skolkovo Institute ...

Researchers create a photochromic fluorescent system that performs optical neural computing and visual output in one step, ...

They can move in steps that are a fraction of a wavelength of light, or about 1/10,000th the diameter of a human hair,” explained Lee Feinberg, optical telescope element manager of the NASA James Webb ...

Instead of relying on switches or digital control, the light finds its own path through the system. This approach could transform data transmission, computing, and communications by making optical ...

A team of scientists has found a way to slow energy leaks that have impeded the use of tiny nanocrystals in light-driven ...

Researchers discovered a hidden 185,000 light-year "bridge" of gas between two distant galaxies, which are also trailed by a ...

By miniaturizing THz spectroscopy to a chip-scale platform, James McIver’s lab has uncovered a promising new method for controlling quantum materials. Under certain conditions, two-dimensional (2D) ...

1). The first frequency combs were generated using tabletop devices made from high-performance optical fibres and lasers that emitted short pulses of light 4, 5. For their contributions to the ...
