Researchers at Skoltech have developed an ultra-compact electro-optic modulator based on silicon photonics and plasmonics ...

A team of researchers from Texas A&M University has demonstrated the use of laser beams to lift and steer tiny engineered ...

A leading physicist argues the brain may operate like a quantum system—and that enhancing it could create humans who perceive ...

An international team of physicists has achieved a significant advance in laser science, demonstrating for the first time a ...

Researchers from the University of Oxford, Queen’s University Belfast, and global partners used the Gemini laser to "compress ...

Galaxies, including the one we call home, are within halos of dark matter. But what exactly dark matter is remains something ...

By feeding students the mysteries and wonder of modern physics, Don Lincoln hopes to ‘blow their minds.’ ...

Darkness can outrun light, at least in the lab. Scientists have captured “dark points” moving faster than light, confirming a decades-old prediction. It sounds paradoxical at first. Light, after all, ...

The speed of light is treated like one of the most certain numbers in science, yet the deeper story is far more unsettling than most people realize. What seems like a simple measurement turns into a ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of physics behave in ways that seem almost impossible. Particles can exist in multiple states at once, influence one another across immense distances as ...

Electrons are influenced by a magnetic field display known as the quantum Hall effect (QHE), which helps scientists make hyper-accurate measurements. Now, scientists have observed a similar behavior ...
