University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and ...
Physicists have developed a lens with 'magic' properties. Ultra-thin, it can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. Lenses are the most widely used ...
For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

Light-induced symmetry changes in tiny crystals allow researchers to create materials with tailored properties
Imagine building a Lego tower with perfectly aligned blocks. Each block represents an atom in a tiny crystal, known as a quantum dot. Just like bumping the tower can shift the blocks and change its ...
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 ...

Light particle hits 37 dimensions at once, and scientists proved it
A team of quantum physicists has taken a concept that once lived purely in equations and turned it into hardware reality, ...
In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...
In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...
