Carbon nanotubes are moving from lab curiosities to workhorse components in quantum hardware, and one of the most striking examples is their use as single-photon light sources. By exploiting their ...

Tiny tubes of carbon that emit single photons from just one point along their length have been made in a deterministic manner ...

The continuous development of bright, stable and highly coherent high-energy light sources is a propellant to the fields of material science, biomedical imaging, ultrafast spectroscopy, and industrial ...

Quantum Photonics Group of BAQIS, led by Chief Scientist Dr Zhiliang Yuan and in collaboration with the Institute of Semiconductors CAS, has recently published a research article entitled “A ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth’s nearest star produces its most ...

How dark is the night sky where you live? If you’re in an urban area, the answer will likely be “not dark at all”. The pervasiveness of artificial light – be it in the form of streetlamps, billboards, ...
