Research shows twisting light-matter coupling can unlock unusual topological phenomena, advancing nanophotonics and quantum ...

Dark matter is an elusive type of matter that does not emit, absorb or reflect light, interacting very weakly with ordinary ...

Light that twists as it travels and materials whose internal order is knotted like a pretzel are starting to collide in the ...

Theoretical physicists along with an experimental team have found evidence of a quantum spin liquid in a material known as pyrochlore cerium stannate. They achieved this by combining state-of-the-art ...

This image captures a laser beam interacting with polariton microcavities, revealing how polaritons help protect emitting materials from brightness loss. Researchers at the University of Turku in ...

Photons are massless quantum particles that form light. They travel at incredible speeds and interact with various forms of matter. The emission of photons from atoms and molecules can lead to an ...

Nearly two centuries after Michael Faraday first showed that magnetism can twist light, physicists have gone back to that classic experiment and found a hidden piece of the puzzle. By teasing out a ...

Strong light–matter coupling has emerged as a transformative concept in modern physics, whereby the interaction between confined electromagnetic fields and material excitations is engineered to yield ...

Researchers have developed a simple method to explore a complex area of quantum science. The discovery makes research in this field cheaper and more accessible, which could significantly impact the ...
