Physicists at the UK’s Central Laser Facility have recorded the first observation of quantum radiation reaction, detecting ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Over the past decades, many research teams worldwide have been trying to detect dark matter, an elusive type of matter that does not emit, reflect or absorb light, using a variety of highly sensitive ...

Dignitaries formally inaugurate the beginning of FLARE operations. From left: Vyacheslav (Slava) Lukin; Hantao Ji, PPPL physicist and FLARE’s principal investigator; Brandon Thorne, director of ...

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing ...

Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...

Scientists have discovered a way to make molecules sitting on a flat surface rotate together using extremely short flashes of ...
