Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Two ghostlike particles, neutrinos and photons, are emerging as unlikely combatants in a quiet revolution in physics. New ...

Physicists at the University of Stuttgart, Germany have teleported a quantum state between photons generated by two different ...

Scientists working on CERN’s Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment have published the latest data in their search for a long-lived exotic particle known as the dark photon. Dark photons (also called ...

Shaped quantum light is turning ordinary photons into powerful tools for the future of technology.

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...

Research led by scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST) and ...

A core tenet of quantum theory was imperilled this year when a team of researchers put forward a radical new interpretation of an experiment about the nature of light. At the centre of the new work ...

Photons are particles of light, or waves, or something like that, right? [Mithuna Yoganathan] explains this conundrum in more detail than you probably got in your high school physics class. While ...

Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins. The feat ...
