A new metasurface lets scientists flip between ultra-stable light vortices, paving the way for tougher, smarter wireless communication.

Test results reported in ACS Nano confirm extreme resilience to electronic interference, achieving more than 35 decibels of ...

Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

Long before quantum mechanics existed, a scientist developed a powerful way of describing motion by drawing an analogy between particles and light.

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

Generally overlooked in Art History 101 was the inverse: how European materials and images were repurposed by Indigenous ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Despite its popularity, biotin lacks strong evidence for hair regrowth, and safer alternatives like minoxidil are recommended ...

KAIST researchers tested optical frequency comb lasers as reference signals for radio astronomy, aiming to synchronize radio telescopes with light-based timing in VLBI observations.

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls of water in the open ocean to ghostly ripples inside atoms. What has ...

Metal clusters made of thousands of atoms showed quantum interference, offering new insight into how large objects follow quantum rules.
