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

Even as quantum navigation emerges as a legitimate alternative to satellite-based navigation, the satellites themselves are ...

Astronomers at the University of California, Santa Cruz, and UCLA will develop a next-generation instrument for detecting and ...

An international research team reports the discovery of "hidden order" in systems that are disordered in space and time. The ...

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

Scientists have directly imaged atomic oxygen in water using a femtosecond laser, revealing unexpected stability and movement ...

Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these circuits — also known as chips — rely on electricity to process data. In recent ...

Why does light carry energy even though it has no mass? This video explains the real physics behind photons, energy–momentum ...

The Geminid meteor shower peaked overnight on Dec. 13-14, with the best viewing between 10 p.m. and 4 a.m. under moonless ...

Quantum emitters work by releasing single photons, individual packets of light, on demand. This ability is critical because quantum technologies rely on absolute control over light and information.

Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful ...

This study presents a novel method for time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy using entangled photon pairs, enabling rapid, ...
