Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Strong light–matter coupling has emerged as a transformative concept in modern physics, whereby the interaction between confined electromagnetic fields and material excitations is engineered to yield ...

Experts call these hybrid light-matter particles “exciton-polaritons”. They have both material and light-like properties and can condense – similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate, an extreme state of ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Physicists have uncovered how direct atom-atom interactions can amplify superradiance, the collective burst of light from atoms working in sync. By incorporating quantum entanglement into their models ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Researchers demonstrated extremely strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Stronger coupling enables faster quantum readout and operations, ultimately improving the accuracy of ...

Knots and links, with their unique and robust topological structures, play a vital role across various disciplines, including physics, life sciences, and light–matter interactions. As a representative ...

EU researchers have brought supersolid light to life in the lab and are now exploring how this strange new state of matter could power real-world technologies. Can light ever be a solid? It turns out ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest. NASA's next big eye on ...
