This work demonstrates a new way to control light and could lead to novel materials for many light-based applications in…

Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of ph…

Some “forbidden” light emissions are in fact possible, could enable new sensors and light-emitting devices.

Interactions between light and matter, described by the laws of quantum electrodynamics, are the basis of a wide range o…

Using folded DNA to precisely place glowing molecules within microscopic light resonators, researchers at Caltech have c…

In addition to saving time, the advance means the quantum dots are less likely to degrade, preserving their advantageous…

University of Otago physicists have used steerable ‘optical tweezers’ to split minute clouds of ultracold atoms and slow…

Physics, Astronomy & Interdisciplinary Science center could speed project’s growth

A chemistry professor at The University of New Mexico is building synthetic molecules that would revolutionize data stor…

Bifrost as rainbow bridge not only reminds of the visual appearance of our filters when looked through at sunlight. It a…

Aalto University scientists have broken the world record by fourteen fold in the energy resolution of thermal photodetection.

The record was made using a partially superconducting microwave detector. The discovery may lead to ultrasensitive camer…

With global data generation increasing by almost 50 per cent each year, Swinburne researchers are at the forefront of th…

Nearly 1,000 times thinner than a human hair, nanowires can only be understood with quantum mechanics. Using quantum mod…

MPQ-scientists have realised a photon-photon logic gate via a deterministic interaction with a strongly coupled atom-resonator system.

In the experiment presented here two independently polarised photons impinge, in quick succession, onto a resonator whic…

The researchers were also able to combine their optics with illumination systems. The optics on an LED which concentrate…

MPQ scientists obtain evidence of many-body localization in a closed quantum system.

The scientists interpret their observation as the onset of many-body localization in the atomic system. This is of funda…

The filters feature steep slopes and high transmission at stable cut-on wavelengths. Thanks to their extreme flat polish…

Corroborative evidence of electron-spin fractionalization up to room temperature

An international research group carried out a large-scale numerical simulation for a theoretical model called the Kitaev…

Photoinduced demagnetization and insulator-to-metal transition by synchrotron x-ray observed

The researchers found that increasing laser intensity sped up demagnetization by metallization of insulating thin films.…

Multifunctional lens could replace bulky, expensive machines

Researchers have developed an ultra-compact, flat lens that can simultaneously capture both spectral information and the…

Densified regions with drastically reduced internal motion either act as crystal precursors or cluster and frustrate all further dynamics

Using a clever combination of light scattering and microscopy, they were able to demonstrate that within a melt of hard…

BGU researchers have presented a novel design technique for optical reversible nano-gates and circuits. It is a design t…
