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 ...

Researchers have developed a microscopic 3D-printed optical device that can efficiently combine light from dozens of small semiconductor lasers into a single multimode optical fiber with very low loss ...

Physicists and chemists at Heidelberg University have realized a photonic microchip that is driven by light just as easily as ...

This year's Nobel Prize in Physics will be shared by three scientists who created revolutionary technologies decades ago that have changed our world today. Half of the $1.4 million prize will go to a ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, producing a quantized sideways drift that had never been observed in photons before. The experiment, carried out on ...

Researchers in Israel have created a microscopic optical device that could simplify high-power laser ...

Engineering physics major Katie Wootten was named a Stephen Halley White Undergraduate Research Award recipient this semester, in recognition of her outstanding research project. The award is the ...

Scientists have transmitted quantum and conventional internet data through the same fiber-optic channel, meaning a future quantum internet could theoretically use existing infrastructure. When you ...
