What is the purpose of light? How does light work? Why does light exist? This video explores the longstanding debate over ...

New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors ...

A consortium of German researchers has successfully transmitted individual photons from a moving aircraft, captured them in a ...

A team of researchers has designed a theoretical model for a topological quantum battery capable of long-distance energy ...

Quantum clocks built from randomness offer a new perspective on time, merging quantum mechanics with timekeeping and ...

A stable ‘frequency comb’ of photons with discrete colours has been generated on a microscale chip by removing copper contaminants from the circuit. The development of PICs was enabled by advances in ...

PLQY is a measure of how efficiently a material converts absorbed light into emitted light. It’s the ratio of the number of ...

To answer Robertson: The Higgs field doesn’t appear to have more valleys to explore, according to our current understanding.
