This new development, which appeared in Nature Communications, may make the manufacture of high-performance photonic dev…

Materials that locally amplify or absorb light allow surprising new kinds of light waves – this has now been shown by calculations at TU Wien (Vienna).

When a light wave penetrates a material, it is usually changed drastically. Scattering and diffraction leads to a superp…

Quantum physics is the study of the unusual behaviour of matter and energy at the atomic level, where the laws of classi…

A world first and a significant development in the understanding of macroscopic quantum behaviour

Quantum mechanics tells us that objects exhibit not only particle-like behaviour, but also wavelike behaviour with a wav…
