Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Scientists have discovered that light’s long-ignored magnetic field may directly drive the Faraday effect.

Scientists have predicted new physics governing compression of water under a high-gradient electric field. Physicists found that a high electric field applied to a tiny hole in a graphene membrane ...

Researchers in the Netherlands have shown that it is possible to control the spin of a single electron by using an electric field rather than a magnetic field, as is usually the case. The breakthrough ...

I’ve already made the argument that numerical models (using computer code) should be an integral part of the introductory physics course. But what if you don’t know where to start? Suppose you are ...

NCCR SPIN focuses on creating scalable spin qubits in semiconductor nanostructures made of silicon and germanium, with the ...

Since the invention of pulsed lasers, the ultrafast laser science community has strived for ever broader optical bandwidths, shorter pulse durations, higher pulse energies and improved phase control.

New research shows that the magnetic part of light actively shapes how light interacts with matter, challenging a 180-year-old belief. The team demonstrated that this magnetic component significantly ...

Modern civilization relies on water's incompressibility--it's something we take for granted. Hydraulic systems harness the virtual non-compressibility of fluids like water or oil to multiply ...
