Physicists from Imperial College London have achieved a groundbreaking milestone in quantum physics by reimagining the ...

Synchrotrons, such as the like the Advanced Light Source (ALS) at the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, can generate light in a wide variety of frequencies by accelerating ...

While the terms "quantum physics" and "Theory of Relativity" are used casually every day, not many people know what they really mean. Yet these theories have had a profound impact not only on science ...

Light's behavior seems counterintuitive. That is, until you figure out light is a wave. The way light behaves can seem very counterintuitive, and many physicists would agree with that, but once you ...

Scientists have created a new class of laser beam that appears to violate long-held laws of light physics. These new beams, which the team calls “spacetime wave packets,” follow different rules of ...

A team of researchers has successfully demonstrated how machine-learning tools can improve the stability of light beams' size for science experiments at a synchrotron light source via adjustments that ...
