Researchers have developed a machine-learning workflow to optimize the output force of photo-actuated organic crystals. Using ...

Diamonds with certain optically active defects can be used as highly sensitive sensors or qubits for quantum computers, where ...

Learn about the optical rotatum, a newfound structure of light that exhibits a spiral pattern linked with various parts of ...

That’s exactly what happened in 1900 at the International Congress of Mathematicians at Sorbonne University in Paris.

A proposed experiment that would involve trapping atoms on a two-layered laser grid could be used to study the mechanism behind high-temperature superconductivity. Developed by physicists in Germany ...

Brenden Sener admits there are challenges to his project but argues that the ancient descriptions could still be accurate.

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 ...

In a striking demonstration of molecular control, a team of scientists has harnessed light to reverse the twist in self-assembling molecules. The study identifies how trace residual aggregates in ...

Researchers find negative-time light, which could allow for time travel. An intriguing phenomenon in quantum mechanics made ...
