The newly-developed all-optical nanosensors are luminescent nanocrystals that can change intensity and/or color when you push or pull on them; they are probed with light only and therefore allow for fully remote read-outs — no wires or…

Physicists at MIT have directly stimulated atoms in an antiferromagnetic material using a terahertz laser, a light source that oscillates more than a trillion times per second. Their results provide a new way to control and switch…

Northwestern University researchers have successfully achieved quantum state transfer over a 30.2-km fiber carrying 400-Gbps C-band classical traffic. The ability for quantum and conventional networks to operate in the same optical fibers…

Bright, twisted light can be produced thanks to nanostructured filaments with twisted geometry, according to scientists at the University of Michigan.

Dark energy — an unknown energy source that is causing our Universe’s expansion to accelerate – doesn’t actually exist, according to new research.

The Standard Model of particle physics predicts an asymmetry between matter and antimatter known as charge-parity (CP) violation. But the size of this asymmetry in the Standard Model is not large enough to account for the imbalance and the…

Using data from high-energy proton-proton collisions in Run 2 of CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC), physicists with the CMS Collaboration have released its latest search for the production of Higgs boson pairs, known as di-Higgs, and…

Physicists with the ALICE Collaboration at CERN’s Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have seen the first ever evidence of antihyperhelium-4, which is composed of two antiprotons, an antineutron and an antilambda. The new result also represents the…
