In 1951, Columbia’s Charles Townes came up with the idea for the device that led to the laser. It earned him a Nobel Prize.

With the new trilateral master's program “Particle Accelerator Science” the Rhine-Main Universities are pooling their expertise in accelerator science, which is unique in Europe. Starting in the ...

A single green laser, a glass bead smaller than a bacterium and a lab in Austria are helping you see lightning in a new way.

Researchers at the University of Sydney have cracked a long-standing problem in microchip-scale lasers by carving tiny "speed ...

So far, the team has measured several effects, including wave steepening, shock fronts and solitary wave fission thanks to the chip. While these nonlinear behaviours had been predicted in superfluids, ...

Antimatter particles are mirror versions of matter particles, with the opposite values of properties such as electric charge.

Comet 3I Atlas is currently ~186 million miles from Earth, which is twice the distance from the Earth to the sun. It is ...

Scientists have developed a new platform for the generation and detection of ultrashort UV-C laser pulses on femtosecond ...

Exceptional points (EPs) are non-Hermitian singularities where two or more eigenstates coalesce, resulting in the eigenspace ...

Researchers have devised a new way to define thermodynamic concepts in microscopic quantum systems, where conventional distinctions between heat and work begin to blur. Researchers at the University o ...

We’re used to seeing ever greater particle accelerators — colossal machines sprawling across landscapes, built to reveal the ...

Ramy Shelbaya – co-founder and chief executive of UK firm Quantum Dice – talks to Anna Demming about how the company is using ...
