For the first time, a quantum radiation reaction in strong electromagnetic fields has been demonstrated experimentally by ...

Superconductors are among the most puzzling materials in physics. They conduct electricity with zero resistance, but only ...

Physicists at UC Santa Barbara have uncovered a new way to manipulate unusual magnetic states by exploiting “frustration” ...

Light-based quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and photonic quantum computing, require reliable sources of ...

The photoelectric effect, first explained in 1905, transformed our understanding of how light interacts with matter. When high-energy light hits atoms, it knocks electrons loose. This process powers ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

A new room-temperature quantum device developed at Stanford uses twisted light and advanced materials to link photons and ...

Scientists have just created a new, strange type of molecule. It’s made of a bunch of atoms bound together in a ring, like ...

Superradiance When multiple electrons emit light in a coordinated manner, the resulting emission is much stronger than the sum of individual emissions. (Courtesy ...

IBM and IonQ are both early movers in the nascent market.

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers have used that green fluorescent protein and similar molecules to light up ...
