Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

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 ...

Normal cellular processes in living things — from germinating plants to our own cells — create biophotons, though escaping light isn’t visible to us.

Now, physicists at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg (JMU), Germany, say they have made progress toward luminous ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have successfully captured the precise shape of a single photon, marking a ...

The concept of quantum entanglement is emblematic of the gap between classical and quantum physics. Referring to a situation in which it is impossible to describe the physics of each photon separately ...

"We are writing a new chapter in the textbook." Researchers make incredible discovery that could revolutionize solar panels: ...

Quantum radar is an emerging technology that exploits the strange phenomenon of quantum entanglement to detect objects that ...

Dark matter has two central properties: it has mass like regular matter, and unlike regular matter, it reacts weakly or not at all with light. Neutrinos satisfy these two criteria, but neutrinos move ...

"These single atoms are like the smallest slits you could possibly build." For over 100 years, quantum physics has taught us that light is both a wave and a particle. Now, researchers at the ...
