Physicists have for the first time observed light drifting sideways in discrete, quantized steps, reproducing a quantum Hall effect that was previously seen only in electrons confined to ultra-thin ...

An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. (Left) Atomic clocks in use at the NPL. (Right) the bullet cluster, a collision between two galaxies with a morphology that ...

Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

NYU researchers have found a way to use light to control how microscopic particles assemble into crystals, effectively turning illumination into a tool for shaping matter. By adding light-sensitive ...
