A routine quantum optics technique just revealed an extraordinary secret: entangled light can carry incredibly complex ...

Physicists have forced light to behave like electrons trapped in a magnetic field, reproducing the quantum Hall effect with photons for the first time. The experiment, carried out on an optical fiber ...

Imperial physicists have recreated the famous double-slit experiment, which showed light behaving as particles and a wave, in time rather than space. The experiment relies on materials that can change ...

A ghost is haunting our universe. This has been known in astronomy and cosmology for decades. Observations suggest that about 85% of all the matter in the universe is mysterious and invisible. These ...

Explore 25 science experiments that defied the laws of physics, revealing mind-bending phenomena that challenge intuition.

Among the first experiments at the National Synchrotron Light Source II--NSLS-II, a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science User Facility located at DOE's Brookhaven National ...

A team of physicists has uncovered a hidden topological structure within one of the most widely used sources of quantum entanglement.

Andrea Gallo Rosso is a member of the ALPHA collaboration. He receives funding from the Swedish Research Council. Several experiments have aimed to unveil what it’s made of, but despite decades of ...
