Scientists get peacock feathers to emit laser light after adding dye and green pulses, revealing surprising biophotonic ...

For more than a century, thermodynamics has described how heat flows and engines run, while quantum mechanics has ruled the strange behavior of atoms and photons. Physicists have long suspected that ...

Physicists have long treated mass as a basic ingredient of nature, something particles simply possess, even as the Higgs mechanism explained only part of the story. A new wave of theoretical work now ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

More than 200 years ago, Count Rumford showed that heat isn’t a mysterious substance but something you can generate endlessly ...

Xcimer's Phoenix system will be fully complete in H1 2026, Xcimer Energy Co-founder and CEO Conner Galloway said. Phoenix is on-schedule and on-budget, Galloway said in the briefing, also attended by ...

Using ultracold atoms and laser light, researchers recreated the behavior of a Josephson junction—an essential component of ...

Dr. Tammy Ma, head of fusion research at LLNL, said, “The transition from basic research to power plant development requires ...

Our weekly roundup of the latest science in the news, as well as a few fascinating articles to keep you entertained over the ...

Rapid advances in the kind of problems that quantum computers can tackle suggest that they are closer than ever to becoming ...

A new concept for energy transfer between gravitational waves and light. When massive cosmic objects such as black holes merge or neutron stars crash into one another, they can produce gravitational ...
