Physicists are now using a tightly controlled laser and a cloud of ultracold atoms to imitate the behavior of electrons in solids, effectively building a quantum version of electronics out of light ...

A scalable nanofabrication method uses electric-field alignment and picosecond laser welding to imprint patterned silver nanowire networks on polymer films.

God does not play dice with the universe,” Albert Einstein famously declared in 1927, sparking one of the most enduring ...

The interior of the vacuum chamber during a scattering experiment. The detector is shown in grey (top right) and the Au(111) gold surface is shown in yellow. The lines indicate the path of the ...

Researchers have discovered brand new interference patterns in twisted two-dimensional tungsten ditelluride lattices. These so-called moir patterns can be tuned to look like periodic spots or even one ...

Researchers replicated the classic double slit experiment using lasers, but their slits are in time not space. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions are now coming into focus, offering fresh insights for chemistry and materials science. (Nanowerk News) The quantum rules shaping molecular collisions ...

In a first, scientists have shown that they can send light through “slits in time” in time. The new experiment is a twist on a 220-year-old demonstration, in which light shines through two slits in a ...
