A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Scientists have found a way to see ultrafast molecular interactions inside liquids using an extreme laser technique once ...

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

In 1845, Michael Faraday discovered what’s known today as the Faraday Effect—which describes how light and electromagnetism are related. A new study revealed that the magnetic component of light ...

Stunning light pillars illuminated the night sky north of St. Petersburg, Russia, in a breathtaking natural display in ...

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 ...

Excessive artificial light at night (ALAN) harms ecosystems and human health. LED lights, while energy-efficient, often produce excessive blue light, worsening ALAN. Properly designed outdoor lighting ...

By directly communicating with the brain, a new wireless device could someday help restore lost senses or manage pain without medications, its developers say.

NASA’s newest planet hunter, the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), is now providing valuable data to help scientists discover and study exciting new exoplanets, or planets beyond our solar ...
