Efficient heat management in solids is key to advancing the next generation of electronics. However, wave-like heat movement—known as phonon focusing—had been observed only at extremely low, or ...

Researchers have found a way to speed up components that control light polarization in optical communication and computing. Polarization is a property of light that can carry additional information ...

Heavy polar molecules are some of the most sensitive tools physicists have for probing what lies beyond the Standard Model, ...

A photon is a single particle of light, and under normal circumstances, it can’t be divided. But a photon is also not a particle, in the sense that it does not have a specific location. Instead, it is ...

Researchers discovered a proton-assisted mechanism that greatly improves how triplet energy moves between quantum dots and ...
