Light and matter can remain at separate temperatures even while interacting with each other for long periods, according to ...

Strong light–matter coupling has emerged as a transformative concept in modern physics, whereby the interaction between confined electromagnetic fields and material excitations is engineered to yield ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Experts call these hybrid light-matter particles “exciton-polaritons”. They have both material and light-like properties and can condense – similar to a Bose-Einstein condensate, an extreme state of ...

Materials scientists can learn a lot about a sample material by shooting lasers at it. With nonlinear optical microscopy—a specialized imaging technique that looks for a change in the color of intense ...

Researchers have developed a simple method to explore a complex area of quantum science. The discovery makes research in this field cheaper and more accessible, which could significantly impact the ...

Researchers demonstrated extremely strong nonlinear light-matter coupling in a quantum circuit. Stronger coupling enables faster quantum readout and operations, ultimately improving the accuracy of ...

Knots and links, with their unique and robust topological structures, play a vital role across various disciplines, including physics, life sciences, and light–matter interactions. As a representative ...

Chiral metasurfaces can strongly twist the polarization of light, but how this process unfolds in space and time has been unclear. Scientists in China have now used ultrafast electron microscopy and ...

Europe's physics lab CERN on Thursday said private donors had pledged $1 billion toward the construction of a new particle accelerator that would be by far the world's biggest. NASA's next big eye on ...
