Our universe plays by certain rules, which originate from different branches of physics. But sometimes the rules seem ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a ...

Physicists have engineered photons that behave as if they inhabit a space far richer than the familiar three dimensions, ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Researchers have used magnetic fields to reveal the mystery of how light particles split. Scientists are closer to giving the next generation of solar cells a powerful boost by integrating a process ...

The particles that are in an atom: protons, neutrons and electrons The particles that are in protons and neutrons: quarks The four fundamental forces: gravity, electromagnetism, the strong force and ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Quantum computers will break encryption one day. But converting data into light particles and beaming them around using thousands of satellites might be one way around this problem. When you purchase ...

According to reports, DARPA has awarded Jung-Tsung Shen, associate professor in the Preston M. Green Department of Electrical & Systems Engineering, with a two-year $1 million grant to construct what ...
