Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...

EU researchers have brought supersolid light to life in the lab and are now exploring how this strange new state of matter could power real-world technologies. Can light ever be a solid? It turns out ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking material capable of bending light in such a way that it renders objects invisible. This technological marvel draws upon advanced concepts in metamaterials, ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...
