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 ...

A photon is a single particle of light, and under normal circumstances, it can’t be divided. But a photon is also not a ...

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

Quantum signals are extremely fragile and can be overwhelmed by the intense optical noise generated by conventional internet traffic, requiring costly dedicated infrastructure for quantum networks.

Fast radio bursts could become the most versatile tools in cosmology: astronomer Manisha Caleb argues in a new preprint that ...

The metasurface is the six-millimetre-sized circle at the centre of the disk. (Courtesy: Noah Rubin) A compact optical ...

Modern life depends on quantum physics. It makes technologies such as GPS navigation, MRI scanners and computer chips ...

UB-led researchers used structured quantum light to enhance Boehm’s brushes in healthy volunteers, suggesting a potential new ...

Superconductivity, a phenomenon in which electricity flows without resistance, is considered the core of quantum computers ...

In December 2019, a bad tooth almost killed me. A terrible toothache turned into the biggest health crisis of my life, ultimately landing me in an intensive care unit for a week. Once I recovered, I ...

A team of engineers at Monash University has built a nanoscale chip that generates, steers, and electrically reads light signals encoded with valley information, combining three functions that had ...

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...
