Australian scientists are developing a "reverse solar" panel—a thermoradiative diode that converts the Earth's emitted ...

Sailing on starlight sounds impossible, but it is real physics. Photons carry momentum, and when they strike a reflective sail, they can slowly push a spacecraft through space. This video explains how ...

Pioneering research physicists in Spain, Germany, Italy and Austria tell Computer Weekly about their breakthroughs, their dilemmas, and the immense challenges on the road to a quantum internet ...

Coupling mid-infrared “idler” photons with near-infrared “signal” photons enables cheaper, smaller and more efficient machines for uses such as greenhouse gas monitoring to medical diagnostics.

Scientists are learning how to temporarily reshape materials by nudging their internal quantum rhythms instead of blasting ...

Simulation of Rydberg arrays inside optical cavity shows photons and atoms don’t always rapidly settle at same temperature ...

Researchers have achieved quantum "alchemy" that allows them to alter the properties of materials using high-powered ...

Quantum technologies are cutting-edge systems that can process, transfer, or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.

Scientists demonstrate Floquet effects using excitons instead of photons, marking a major breakthrough in imbibing materials ...

Scientists have shown that it may be possible to transform materials simply by triggering internal quantum ripples rather ...

What if you could create new materials just by shining a light at them? To most, this sounds like science fiction or alchemy, ...
