Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have reported important progress in quantum physics and materials ...

Researchers at the Würzburg site of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat have succeeded in transferring the topological quantum ...

This episode of the Physics World Weekly podcast features Brian Pogue, who is professor of biomedical engineering at ...

Physicists have engineered light to drift sideways in discrete, quantized steps inside a fiber-optic loop, reproducing a ...

In June, more than 1,200 physicists will present new research at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics being held in Portland, ...

Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...

Researchers show that precisely layering nano-thin materials creates excitons -- essentially, artificial atoms -- that can act as quantum information bits, or qubits. By taking two flakes of special ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...
