In condensed matter physics, things can get pretty weird. When temperatures get close to absolute zero, it is possible to put matter in a state called supersolid, a crystal that can flow without ...

Light, long considered intangible and elusive, has just crossed a new scientific frontier. This impalpable material could very well transform, just like water. Italian researchers have succeeded ...

The scientists have described how they made two individual quantum photons of light interact, ... This research, published in the journal Nature Physics on March 20, ...

Interferometry: Classical versus quantum. Optical interferometry is today's gold standard in precision measurement.It uses the interference properties of light described by classical physics to ...

NASA engineers push limits of physics to focus light Photon sieves, a technology that can focus extreme ultraviolet light, should be able to resolve features 10 to 50 times smaller than what can ...
