Precision alignment in semiconductor lithography demands nanometer-scale accuracy, as even minor misalignments between the mask and wafer can ...

Scientists developed a two-photon-enhanced metasurface that cuts photon requirements for nanoscale displacement measurement ...

Scientists are learning to engineer light in rich, multidimensional ways that dramatically increase how much information a single photon can carry. This leap could make quantum communication more ...

When ultraviolet light hits ice—whether in Earth's polar regions or on distant planets—it triggers a cascade of chemical reactions that have puzzled scientists for decades. Now, researchers at the ...

Researchers have directly observed Floquet effects in graphene for the first time, settling a long-running scientific debate. Their ultrafast light-based technique demonstrates that graphene’s ...

The Bomem DA3 is a type of Fourier transform spectrometer used for measuring various spectral data and [Usagi Electric] has one. On his quest to understand it he runs down a number of rabbit holes, ...

Quantum technologies—devices that operate according to quantum mechanical principles—promise to bring users some groundbreaking innovations in whichever context they appear. Ironically, the same ...

As physicists search for a theory of quantum gravity, new results show that classical gravity can still interact with quantum fields to allow matter to become entangled. When you purchase through ...

In a bold move to transform quantum research into real-world applications, CU Boulder and partners have launched the 13,000-square-foot Colorado Quantum Incubator in east Boulder. The facility marks a ...

A century ago, the strange behavior of atoms and elementary particles led physicists to formulate a new theory of nature. That theory, quantum mechanics, found immediate success, proving its worth ...
