Researchers from the University of Vienna have reported quantum interference in metallic nanoparticles. These little spheres were made of between 5,000 and 10,000 sodium atoms and measured about 8 ...

A new publication from Opto-Electronic Advances; DOI 10.29026/oea.2026.250149, discusses a quarter-wave geometric-phase route ...

A sensitive matter-wave interferometer measuring moiré fringes offers force sensitivity comparable to quantum interference ...

A new optical device allows researchers to generate and switch between two stable, donut-shaped light patterns called ...

For more than a century, scientists have known that waves can behave in ways that seem to defy common sense, from freak walls of water in the open ocean to ghostly ripples inside atoms. What has ...

The 20th century was marked by the discovery of exotic states of matter. First, liquid helium was observed to flow without friction at extremely low temperatures, a phase now known as superfluid. Soon ...

A new metasurface lets scientists flip between ultra-stable light vortices, paving the way for tougher, smarter wireless communication.

A century-old thought experiment on wave–particle duality is brought into the laboratory using a single trapped atom ...

Test results reported in ACS Nano confirm extreme resilience to electronic interference, achieving more than 35 decibels of ...

Blake Lively called out Justin Baldoni in texts to Taylor Swift over the It Ends With Us director’s meeting with the singer, according to newly unsealed court documents.

Higher nighttime light exposure is associated with increased light sleep duration, with complex effects on deep sleep duration. Subgroup analyses show stronger associations in older adults, smokers, ...

A small system will give us a taste of wet and mild weather today. Even after today, we’ll watch that pattern ramp up a little more before we head into the weekend. A low pressure center moving to our ...
