Warp drive research has long occupied the narrow corridor between elegant mathematics and science-fiction wish fulfillment. A ...

It's long been known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also ...

Optical frequency combs—laser sources that emit evenly spaced colors of light—are foundational, ubiquitous tools for ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum ...

Physicists have recreated the Nobel Prize–winning quantum Hall effect using light, revealing that photons can follow the same ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have succeeded in detecting laser-assisted electron scattering (LAES) using ...

Scientists observe a visible time crystal for the first time, revealing a phase of matter that repeats patterns through time.

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

An international team of physicists has cooked up with a new theory that could allow for objects to travel faster than the speed of light — and while they say it wouldn’t technically violate the laws ...

A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...
