Instead of a traditional solid glass core, the newly-developed optical fibers feature a core of air surrounded by a meticulously engineered glass microstructure...
In a new paper, Penn State Professor Victor Pasko and his colleagues described how they determined strong electric fields in thunderclouds accelerate electrons...
In new research, astronomers used NASA’s IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) to observe a highly relativistic jet emanating from the blazar BL...
Neurons communicate by firing electrical pulses, but scientists have found hints that neurons may transmit light as well. Researchers at the University...
High-energy photons produced deep in gamma-ray burst jets emerging from a collapsed star could dissolve the outer stellar layers into free neutrons, causing...
The structure of optical rotatum follows a logarithmic spiral — a signature that is commonly seen in the pattern formation of seashells and galaxies,...
Dubbed KM3-230213A, the newly-detected neutrino carried an astonishing energy of 220 peta-electronvolts (PeV), making it one of the most powerful elementary...
The newly-developed all-optical nanosensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them; they are...
Physicists at MIT have directly stimulated atoms in an antiferromagnetic material using a terahertz laser, a light source that oscillates more than a trillion...
Northwestern University researchers have successfully achieved quantum state transfer over a 30.2-km fiber carrying 400-Gbps C-band classical traffic....
Bright, twisted light can be produced thanks to nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry, according to scientists at the University of Michigan.
Planck’s...
In their experiments, physicists at the University of Bonn and the University of Kaiserslautern-Landau observed the dimensional crossover from one to two...
Tachyons are hypothetical particles that always travel faster than light. Until recently, they were generally regarded as entities that did not fit into...
Metal-free organic 3-bromo-2-thienyl diketones exhibit fast and highly efficient room-temperature phosphorescence with high color purity under various...
Physicists at the University of Vienna have experimentally measured the rotation rate of our planet using maximally path-entangled quantum states of light...
A team of physicists and chemists has discovered a previously unknown way in which light interacts with matter, a finding that could lead to improved solar...
A team of physicists led by Dr. Yuan Lu from the Université de Lorraine’s Institut Jean Lamour has used electrical pulses to manipulate magnetic information...
