Attosecond pulses enable sub-femtosecond studies of ultrafast electron dynamics. Since 2001, pulse durations have shortened ...

Scientists at the University of Cambridge have developed a new way to alter complex drug molecules using light rather than ...

Discover how to build a simple electromagnetic motor and generator using everyday materials in this hands-on science experiment. Follow the detailed steps to assemble a motor with a plastic bottle cap ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively ...

Norbert Holtkamp returns to Fermilab with a clear mandate: deliver DUNE, honour the laboratory’s legacy of bold leadership ...

To unlock materials of the future, including better photocatalysts or light-switchable superconductors, researchers need to ...

When a bone break is too severe to heal on its own, surgeons often rely on grafts or rigid metal implants — but both come ...

The company is seeking F.C.C. approval to test an idea to reflect sunlight to Earth at night, possibly powering solar panels. Critics say it could be bad for people and wildlife.

Researchers have found a way to mimic lightspeed when photographing an object. The method involves stitching together many thin “slices” of light reflecting off the object. Photography—itself a ...

After a new upgrade, a neutrino observatory in Antarctica may identify dormant supermassive black holes within our galaxy.
