Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to ...

And it ultimately led to Koshiba being awarded the 2002 Nobel Prize in Physics for experiments that ... products such as X-ray tubes and a range of light detectors and lasers are found inside ...

Led by Professor Riccardo Sapienza from the Department of Physics, this research team explored how light interacts with a ...

Recent results of new theoretical analyses and optical experiments have given rise to a more complete knowledge of the quantum properties of light. This book gives the first detailed description ...

With strong roots in optics and photonics, TEDA Institute of Applied Physics (TIAP ... niobate and metasurface (subwavelength-thick light-tuning interface), they developed an effective and ...

The remarkable career of Charles H. Townes, inventor of the maser and laser for which he shared the 1964 Nobel Prize in Physics, has spanned seven decades. His interests have ranged from the origin of ...

Physicists have long theorized the existence of a unique state of matter known as a quantum spin liquid. In this state, ...

In science fiction, spaceships moving at or beyond lightspeed enable all manner of universal exploration. But in Earth-bound reality, traveling at the speed of light (299,792,458 meters per second, or ...

Breakthroughs in warp drive research inspired by Einstein's theories bring humanity closer to interstellar travel, reshaping ...

The formula really works. Usually pure mathematics supports physics, supplying the mathematical tools with which physical systems are analysed, but this is a case of the reverse: quantum physics is ...
