Particle detectors play a crucial role in our understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the universe. They allow ...

These two properties of axions mean that they are exceptionally good at collapsing down to incredibly high densities, pulled ...

Light is radiation visible to the human eye Light is energy called electromagnetic radiation. It’s made up of a stream of energy particles called photons. Each photon has its own energy level. There ...

A future quantum internet could transmit information using pairs of entangled photons — meaning the particles ... which the ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

Most of our gadgets rely on chips. Electronic chips. But that’s about to change. The chips of the future are chips of light. They use light particles known as photons to move data. Europe wants to ...

Symbolically shown: the emission of two single photons at locations defined for this purpose by the process. In the background: An electron beam creates holes in the lithographic mask made of acrylate ...

Researchers at Argonne have discovered that superconducting nanowire photon detectors can also be used as highly accurate ...
