Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. optic fibres with different colours of light A paradox at the heart of quantum physics has been tested in an extraordinary fashion ...

Einstein’s claim that the speed of light is constant has survived more than a century of scrutiny—but scientists are still daring to test it. Some theories of quantum gravity suggest light might ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

A further benefit is that the channels can be multiplexed, allowing many quantum processors to access the system at the same time. The researchers say this is similar to multiplexing in classical ...

Can a small lump of metal be in a quantum state that extends over distant locations? A research team at the University of ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

Physicists confirm that light has two identities that are impossible to see at once. (Nanowerk News) MIT physicists have performed an idealized version of one of the most famous experiments in quantum ...

Highly anticipated: Scientists at the University of Arizona have demonstrated a method to capture and manipulate quantum uncertainty in real time using rapid pulses of light, marking what they ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...
