An attosecond—or 0.000000000000000001 second—is no time at all for a person. That is not so for electrons, atoms and ...

Electrons play many roles in solid materials. When they are weakly bound and able to travel—i.e., mobile—they can enable ...

European researchers are developing quantum computers using light and glass, in a collaboration that promises breakthroughs ...

Optimizing the geometric parameters of polymer nanoantenna arrays significantly improves the performance of optical ...

Planck Time is the shortest measurable moment in the Universe,just 5.39 × 10⁻⁴⁴ seconds. It’s a concept so extreme that it stretches the limits of physics and challenges our very understanding of time ...

Scientists are on the trail of a mysterious five-particle structure that could challenge one of the biggest theories in ...

Light, a major enforcer of circadian rhythms, has long been linked to various health impacts. For instance, shift workers exposed to light at night have a higher risk of heart disease.

To avoid this restriction, which is known as vignetting, Cui explains that the team separated the two lenses and inserted a Keplerian telescope between them. “This ‘telescope-within-a-microscope’ ...

Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

Experimental nuclear physics is the practical investigation of the processes that occur at the heart of an atom. This includes building a better fundamental understanding of fusion and fission ...

See an example of the kind of research the school is working on in this film I have weekly meetings with my supervisor, not just discussing the research but also how I'm feeling mentally and what I am ...

In this paper, we present a comprehensive channel modeling and characterization study for visible light communications. Our study is based on ray tracing, which allows for an accurate description of ...
