Muons are unstable subatomic particles that spontaneously and rapidly transform into other particles via a process known as ...
A new experiment has demonstrated something that sounds physically impossible – light itself casting a shadow. It turns out that if you manipulate a laser just right, then hit it side-on with another ...
Last year marked the 270th anniversary of Benjamin Franklin’s lightning rod — but it’s more than a relic of history. The Franklin rod remains in use today because the simple design exploits some ...

US team builds laser they say could unlock 100,000-qubit quantum computers
US researchers say they have built a laser system precise and powerful enough to control vast grids of atoms, a step they ...
Dozens of times over the last decade NASA scientists have launched laser beams at a reflector the size of a paperback novel about 240,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) away from Earth. They announced ...
One of the discoveries that fundamentally distinguished the emerging field of quantum physics from classical physics was the ...
Some days really are longer than others. And now scientists know by precisely how much. Using a laser gyroscope, scientists have measured variations in Earth’s rotation rate smaller than a millionth ...
researchers at Colorado University Boulder have used doughnut-shaped beams of light to take detailed images of objects too tiny to view with traditional microscopes. The researchers say that the new ...
