Artificial intelligence opens the door to a new way of doing science, one in which we are not the only ones capable of formulating scientific experiments.

A world-famous light experiment from 1801 has now been carried out with sound for the first time. Research by physicists in ...

Researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have created a tunable superconducting circuit on a chip that can place a single microwave photon (particle of light) in two ...

Data transmission by laser: The researchers tested data transmission by laser over 53 kilometres from the Jungfraujoch to the Zimmerwald Observatory near Bern. Courtesy: ETH Zürich Researchers in ...

A pair of University of Alabama in Huntsville (UAH) researchers aim to explore fundamental properties of infrasonic optical sensors that could make them more sensitive and accurate over long distances ...

Since the early 20th century physicists have known that light carries momentum, but the way that this momentum changes as light passes through different media is much less clear. Two rival theories of ...

Quantum optics is a well-established field that spans from fundamental physics to quantum information science. In the coming decade, areas including computation, communication and metrology are all ...

Physicists have demonstrated one of the quintessential effects of quantum optics -- known as the Hong-Ou-Mandel effect -- with microwaves, whose frequency is 100,000 times lower than that of visible ...

Researchers have created a tunable superconducting circuit on a chip that can place a single microwave photon in two frequencies, or colors, at the same time. Researchers at the National Institute of ...
