Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have overturned a 180-year-old scientific assumption, proving ...

Light is well known to exhibit both wave-like and particle-like properties, as imaged here in this 2015 photograph. What's less well appreciated is that matter particles also exhibit those wave-like ...

A career in optical physics or engineering means knowing about the behavior and properties of light, including its interactions with matter and its detection by instruments. Since the discovery that ...

In a new study published in Nature Physics, researchers have demonstrated that quantum light, particularly bright squeezed ...

Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at that. Earlier, he'd been a scientist, but he realized he wasn't very happy sitting at a lab bench all day. Science writing, ...

In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers have successfully transformed light into a supersolid, an unusual state of matter that exhibits properties of both a solid and a fluid. This discovery ...

Scientists at CERN, the famous Geneva-based physics lab, have just called into question one of the most hallowed equations in physics: E = MC2. Scientists, the AP explains, have clocked subatomic ...

UK artist Alison Stott has created a new glass and light artwork – entitled Naturally Focused – that is inspired by the work ...
