Tiny 3D-printed “light cages” are giving researchers a new way to catch and hold individual particles of light on a chip, a ...

Quantum physics is the realm of the strange. And one of the strangest discoveries in the field is also one of the most fundamental: Particles fired at barriers with two slits in them can act like ...

Light is usually described using quantum mechanics when phenomena like entanglement enter the picture. But a new paper shows ...

In a mind-warping milestone experiment, scientists have been able to manipulate small numbers of individual photons of light, opening doors for the development of quantum technologies. This research, ...

Spencer Axani, assistant professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, is the inventor of CosmicWatch, a portable, ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

Physics experiments have changed the world irrevocably, altering our reality and enabling us to take gigantic leaps in technology. From ancient times to now, here's a look at some of the greatest ...

You can't see, feel, hear, taste or smell them, but tiny particles from space are constantly raining down on us.
