Quantum tunnelling — when a particle skips through a barrier that classical physics would forbid — happens faster when objects have less energy, find physicists who worked out a way to probe photons ...

Entangled photons are at the heart of a variety of different and powerful quantum applications. By exploiting this unique quantum phenomenon, in which information correlates between two or more ...

It is possible to make a material emit more radiation than it absorbs, violating the laws of physics in a way that could make ...

The Rochester Quantum Network transmits information by sending single photons through two fiber-optic telecommunications ...

Two promising dark matter candidates (i.e., hypothetical particles that dark matter could be made of) are axions and dark photons. The MAgnetized Disk and Mirror Axion eXperiment ...

To make a truly realistic fake picture of a galaxy, you can model exactly how light particles travel through the atmosphere ...

Today in the history of astronomy, satellites Vela 3 and 4 make the first detection of gamma-ray bursts.

Nick Stone discusses some of the many ways in which light can be used for diagnostic and therapeutic applications ...
