The Gregangelo Museum in San Francisco makes that friend look like they shop exclusively at IKEA. When your neighbor’s house ...

Imaging science Ph.D. student Muhammad Akif Qadeer awarded Optica Foundation scholarship for his work in developing ultrafast ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have discovered a new way to generate ultra-precise, evenly spaced "combs" of laser light on a ...

Physicists in Germany have carried out the most accurate measurement to date of the width of the proton. By examining a previously unexplored energy-level transition in the hydrogen atom, Lothar ...

By harnessing two natural timescales in resonator arrays, researchers created photonic chips that reliably produce multiple harmonics without active compensation. For decades, scientists and engineers ...

After years of confusion, a new study confirms the proton is tinier than once thought. That enables a test of the standard model of particle physics.

RIT and the University of Rochester to receive $2 million in federal funding to advance quantum communication network.

With engineered microstructures, metamaterials enhance stealth capabilities, enabling advanced wave manipulation for improved military platform invisibility.

Particle physics is using ever more interdisciplinary means to seek ever more exotic phenomena, Robert P Crease finds, but ...

Optics and photonics is the study of the fundamental properties of light and harnessing them in practical applications. Optics and photonics covers the entire electromagnetic spectrum from high-energy ...

California firm founders, including two US Energy Dept. veterans, aim to scale laser-based inertial confinement fusion ...

Quantum optics is the study of how individual quanta of light, known as photons, interact with atoms and molecules. This includes studying the particle-like properties of photons. Photons have been ...
