Quantum computing has long promised to crack problems that defeat even the fastest supercomputers, but the hardware has ...

Some things are easier to achieve if you're not alone. As researchers from the University of Rostock, Germany have shown, this very human insight also applies to the most fundamental building blocks ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. In 1920, Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed that although light (photons) has a dual nature, behaving as both particle and wave, ...

Physicists have taken a step that sounds like science fiction: they have coaxed light into behaving as a “supersolid,” a phase of matter that is at once rigid and frictionless. Instead of treating ...

Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Scientists have made discoveries about light particles known as photons that could aid the quest for fusion energy. Both literally and figuratively, light pervades the world. It banishes darkness, ...

A team of researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg led by Prof. Stefanie Barz (University of Stuttgart) has demonstrated a source of single photons ...

Researchers have used magnetic fields to reveal the mystery of how light particles split. Scientists are closer to giving the next generation of solar cells a powerful boost by integrating a process ...
