Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than ...

Optical frequency combs—laser sources that emit evenly spaced colors of light—are foundational, ubiquitous tools for ...

Cambridge scientists have discovered a light-powered chemical reaction that lets researchers modify complex drug molecules at ...

The 19th-century German toy pieces, made with quartz sand, chalk and linseed oil, allowed kids to create realistic structures ...
