University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where ...

Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by ...

Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and ...

EU researchers have brought supersolid light to life in the lab and are now exploring how this strange new state of matter could power real-world technologies. Can light ever be a solid? It turns out ...

Light usually travels in straight lines, but what if it could twist, spiral, and ...

Researchers have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where background noise and optical loss from the sample are present. (Nanowerk News) ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Engineers have developed a multifunctional, reconfigurable component for an optical computing system that could be a game changer in electronics. As fast as modern electronics have become, they could ...
