A supersolid made using photons. Supersolids are a unique phase of matter that combine the friction-free flow of superfluids with an ordered structure.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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

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

In its first year alone, it will double the amount of data collected so far by every other instrument in the history of ...

Researchers from the University of Twente, in the Netherlands, say that they have gained “important insights” into photons, which “behave in an amazingly greater variety than electrons surrounding ...
