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

Researchers have built a new platform that produces ultrashort UV-C laser pulses and detects them at room temperature using ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking on-chip quantum memory platform using 3D-nanoprinted hollow-core waveguides called ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

Beams of light that can be guided into corkscrew-like shapes called optical vortices are used today in a range of applications. Pushing the limits of structured light, Harvard applied physicists in ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

Excessive artificial light at night (ALAN) harms ecosystems and human health. LED lights, while energy-efficient, often produce excessive blue light, worsening ALAN. Properly designed outdoor lighting ...
