A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum information storage plays a central role in the development of the quantum ...

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

Forget LEDs, researchers from the University of Michigan have developed a new type of incandescent light bulb. The device is capable of emitting elliptically polarized light, described as "twisted" ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking on-chip quantum memory platform using 3D-nanoprinted hollow-core waveguides called ...

Pushing the limits of structured light, applied physicists report a new type of optical vortex beam that not only twists as it travels but also changes in different parts at different rates to create ...

Researchers have developed innovative methods to control the ionization of atoms and molecules using specially structured light beams, challenging traditional limits. This breakthrough could lead to ...

Stunning light pillars illuminated the night sky north of St. Petersburg, Russia, in a breathtaking natural display in ...

For the first time, physicists have simulated what objects moving near the speed of light would look like — an optical illusion called the Terrell-Penrose effect. When you purchase through links on ...

Excessive artificial light at night (ALAN) harms ecosystems and human health. LED lights, while energy-efficient, often produce excessive blue light, worsening ALAN. Properly designed outdoor lighting ...

A new architecture replaces traditional bottlenecks with a passive, single-shot light-speed operation that could become the foundational hardware for AGI, scientists argue. When you purchase through ...
