A flash of light has turned a sheet of atoms into a dance floor. In a feat of precision physics, researchers from Cornell and ...

When an intense laser pulse hits a stationary electron, it performs a trembling motion at the frequency of the light field.

The engineering of optically synthesized magnetic fields allows neutral atoms to emulate charged behavior, paving the way for ...

Our readers agree that animals like eagles can’t evolve to have even sharper eyes - and probably wouldn’t want to either ...

Many Hoosiers shared stunning images of the northern lights from all around Indiana when auroras shone Nov 11-12, 2025.

The swirling field traps and accelerates electron particles inside the tube, forcing them into a spiral motion. As they move in sync, the electrons emit radiation coherently, amplifying the light’s ...

Researchers are uncovering the origins of cosmic rays, linking them to mysterious cosmic accelerators called PeVatrons New research from astrophysicists at Michigan State University may bring scientis ...

Fraunhofer IAF, Qudora Tech, and AMO are co-developing new photonic components for ion-trap quantum computers.

Researchers have demonstrated that the theoretically optimal scaling for magic state distillation—a critical bottleneck in ...

When this shock reaches the surface, it releases an enormous burst of energy. The star brightens dramatically, becoming visible as a supernova. For a short period, astronomers can study the initial ...

The more common colours people see in the northern lights is green, with hints of purple and pink. Florian said red is also ...
