Scientists have used a new method to determine the characteristics of optical, i.e. light-based, quantum states. For the first time, they are using certain photon detectors -- devices that can detect ...

Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have made a discovery that could pave the way for a transformative era in photonic technology. For decades, scientists have theorized the possibility of ...

The universe comes with a built‑in speed cap, a hard limit that shapes everything from how stars shine to how cause and effect unfold. That limit is usually described as the speed of light, yet the ...
