A Hebrew University study finds light’s magnetic field plays a larger role in material behavior than believed, with implications for optical and quantum technologies.

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem discovered that the magnetic component of light plays a direct role in the ...

Researchers have found a way to make “dark excitons”—normally invisible quantum states of light—shine dramatically brighter ...

A clearer understanding of the Universe, its origins and maybe even its destiny is a significant step closer, thanks to new research. As part of a major international experiment called ALPHA, based at ...

In terms of difficulty, trapping a plasma is right up there with catching a cloud and pinning it down, or holding a moonbeam in your hand. But physicists have devised a new way to magnetically bottle ...

In a research first that could lead to a new generation of hard drives capable of storing thousands of movies per square inch, physicists at Rice University have decoded the three-dimensional ...

Venus flytraps are carnivorous plants that consume insects in order to fulfill their own nutritional requirements. The plants are incredible in many ways, but a new study reveals something truly ...

Researchers at CERN have created and trapped antihydrogen in an attempt to study the underpinnings of the standard model of physics. Antihydrogen is made of antiparticles, specifically an antiproton ...
