Researchers discovered that when atoms interact and remain entangled with light, they emit stronger, more coordinated bursts ...

Researchers from the School of Physics at Wits University, working with collaborators from the Universitat Autònoma de ...

The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...

For nearly two centuries, physics textbooks have treated light as magnetically indifferent to the materials it passes through, a pure messenger of energy and information that leaves magnetic order ...

Does light behave more like a particle, or like a wave? Today we know the surprising answer. Here's why it took so long to get there. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

Slowing down light is not as easy as it sounds. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. The phenomenon of light slowing down as it passes ...

Light pollution reduction (LPR) filters function by selectively blocking specific wavelengths of light emitted by certain artificial sources, such as high-pressure sodium streetlights, which ...

The aurora borealis is usually visible only way up north, but over the past 18 months, shimmering curtains of pink and green light have filled night skies across much of North America, at times ...
