Fluctuations of twisted beams of random light, such as sunlight, lead to an angular Hanbury Brown–Twiss effect.
Teleportation isn’t just science fiction anymore — scientists have found a way to send information more clearly and efficiently than ever before.
Using an incredibly tiny material called a nanophotonic platform, researchers dramatically improved how well quantum information can travel, even with just single particles of light. This breakthrough means teleportation could one day be part of real-world communication networks, opening the door to a future where information zips through space in ways once thought impossible.
Nonlinear optics: the key to quantum communication.
Earth’s atmosphere is much more sensitive to ripples of radiation from the sun than scientists previously believed, new research by Queen’s University Belfast has found.
Solar flares, which are sudden and intense bursts of energy from the sun’s magnetic field, happen regularly.
Understanding how they impact the Earth’s atmosphere is important as very powerful flares can cause inaccuracies in GPS systems and, in extreme cases, can cause total radio blackouts, where all signal is lost.
The NASA team behind the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope – due to launch in 2027 – have shared the designs for the mission’s 3 core surveys.
Roman will deepen understanding into the mysteries of astrophysics and the universe.
“Roman’s setting out to do wide, deep surveys of the universe in a way that will help us answer questions about how dark energy and dark matter govern cosmic evolution, and the demographics of worlds beyond our solar system,” says Gail Zasowski, an associate professor at the University of Utah, US, and co-chair of the Roman Observations Time Allocation Committee (ROTAC).
One of the most famous findings in physics could be wrong – the double-slit experiment was long thought to confirm that light can be a wave, but its results can be fully explained using only quantum particles
The European Space Agency’s seventh Earth Explorer mission, Biomass, launched on Tuesday aboard an Arianespace Vega-C rocket. Biomass, which will study Earth’s forests and their impact on the planet’s climate, lifted off from Kourou, French Guiana, at 09:15 UTC (6:15 AM local time).
Move over, uranium. Get out of here, water. Thorium and salt are the new MVPs of nuclear power.
Study provides new evidence that sensory stimulation of gamma-frequency brain rhythm may promote broad-based restorative neurological health response.
A new contender for a human ‘language gene’ can change the way that mice squeak when it is incorporated into their DNA.
The spacecraft suffered an engine anomaly that left it stuck in Earth’s orbit for decades, and now it’s slated for an uncontrolled reentry.
