Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have created a chip-scale device that can dynamically control the "handedness" of light as it passes ...

Researchers at Politecnico di Milano and CNR-IFN have demonstrated all-optical logic operations in a tungsten disulfide (WS₂) monolayer at rates as high as 10 terahertz, according to a study published ...

Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology have demonstrated that stacking two quantum materials on top of each other can flip electron spin at room temperature using tiny currents and no ...

For more than 40 years, scientists have known that the quantum Hall effect impacts electrons in strong magnetic fields, but it turns out light also follows the fundamental phenomenon.

Physicists have detected laser-assisted electron scattering using circularly polarized light for the first time, revealing new ways to probe atomic-scale chirality.

By controlling magnetic fields using light, a team of researchers led by NTU scientists has solved a long-standing challenge ...

The demonstration marks an important step toward practical quantum communication networks. During the experiment, researchers ...

More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While ...

Now, adding a twisting laser beam that interacts with these electrons makes things even more complicated. And in that ...
