In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

If ever spotted in the emptiness of space, according to theoretical physicist Eugeny Babichev of the University of ...

Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Researchers from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have reported the first ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter ...

In a recent study published in Nature Physics, an international team of researchers led by Harvard University have developed a theory that describes controlling a new state of light which they refer ...

Scientists in Japan have managed to manipulate light as though it was being influenced by gravity. By carefully distorting a photonic crystal, the team was able to invoke “pseudogravity” to bend a ...

The 2023 Nobel Prize in physics has been awarded to three scientists who created pulses of light so short they can be used to watch the inner workings of atoms. Pierre Agostini, Ferenc Krausz and Anne ...

An international team of physicists has cooked up with a new theory that could allow for objects to travel faster than the speed of light — and while they say it wouldn’t technically violate the laws ...
