A team of physicists from the University of Innsbruck and Harvard University has proposed a fundamentally new way to generate ...

Number of measurements required to learn about the behaviour of a complex, noisy quantum system reduced by a factor of 1011 ...

Such projects are often fun for students and teachers. Teachers are often intrigued and amazed by students’ ideas and ...

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By ...

Scientists have created the first real-time 3D simulations of how lasers alter the quantum vacuum. Using cutting-edge computational modeling, scientists from the University of Oxford, in collaboration ...

(1) THESE manuals cover the ground of the London University matriculation syllabus in heat, light, and sound. The treatment is lucid and concise, and thoroughly in accordance with the most recent ...

Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland share the 2018 physics Nobel for their work with lasers that have led to numerous practical applications, such as eye surgery. “The main practical ...

Light can’t seem to keep itself together—at least in two dimensions—according to new findings from the University of Colorado Boulder. This research found that when a dimension is removed from light’s ...

Black holes can’t be formed from pure light. Quantum physics would curb their creation under any foreseeable conditions, a new study suggests. Typically, matter is responsible for black holes. They’re ...
