Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful chemicals without any expensive catalysts, using only light.

Quantum emitters work by releasing single photons, individual packets of light, on demand. This ability is critical because ...

Researchers have uncovered a method to purify a photon stream that is central to quantum circuitry. University of Iowa ...

Photons, for centuries both a puzzle and a tool, continue to help scientists illuminate nature at the smallest and largest ...

Physicists successfully teleport quantum information between photons from different sources, a key step towards a secure ...

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

Light, whether from a star or your flashlight, travels at 186,000 miles per second. Artur Debat/Moment via Getty Images My telescope, set up for astrophotography in my light-polluted San Diego ...

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...

Researchers propose an unconventional way to generate light made from entangled photons. In the graphic above, photons meet the electrons of a helium atom, which then emits two entangled photons.

I guess it's like how we use the square root of minus one to solve various equations. It sounda impossible but actually works! Click to expand... Sort've, but I don't think they're going into the ...

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but physicists at the University of Birmingham have now calculated ...

A new mesoporous polymer combines optical transparency higher than glass with thermal conductivity lower than air. The ...
