Dark matter is one of the biggest mysteries in science. Astronomers believe it makes up most of the matter in the universe, ...

Researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are helping to pave a path for the eventual discovery ...

Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their electric fields canceling each other out), they cannot interact with matter. In ...

Researchers in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and the Faculty of Arts and ...

Engineers have developed a method to create microscopic, ultra-smooth mirrors by triggering material stress to buckle thin ...

A team of physicists has reimagined one of science’s most iconic experiments—but in the dimension of time. Researchers at Imperial College London have taken the classic double-slit test and turned it ...

This kind of ‘magic’ could lead to a computer revolution.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to new research that could help scale up an emerging quantum ...

When a molecule of tryptophan absorbs ultraviolet light, it glows faintly as it releases energy at a lower frequency. This effect, called fluorescence, is well known. But something extraordinary ...

Quantum computers are alternative computing devices that process information, leveraging quantum mechanical effects, such as ...
