A groundbreaking achievement by physicists from Imperial College London has brought new insights into quantum physics by ...

A new experiment confirms that angular momentum conservation holds even when a single photon is split into two.

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Optical clocks are highly precise timekeeping devices that measure time by tracking the oscillations of light, as opposed to ...

With dual lasers, researchers have accelerated a high-quality beam of electrons to 10 billion electronvolts in just 30 centimeters. The experiment gives scientists a 'frame-by-frame' look at how a ...

Until December 5, 2022, this had only been accomplished on Earth inside a hydrogen bomb. On that day at the Lawrence Livermore facility, 192 laser beams focused on a deuterium/tritium cryogenic target ...
