Research shows that external impulses in non-reciprocal optical solitary waves can exceed expected momentum responses, ...

Sometimes, even the simplest things can set off a quantum phenomenon.

Physicists at NYU have discovered a new type of time crystal—an exotic state of matter whose particles rhythmically “tick” while levitating on sound waves.

Earlier this year researchers developed sensing protocols that allow optical fibers to 'listen' outside an optical fiber where they cannot 'look', based on an interplay between light waves and ...

Plasma populations throughout the universe interact with solid bodies, gases, magnetic fields, electromagnetic radiation, magnetohydrodynamic waves, shock waves, and other plasma populations. These ...

The ability to tune the interactions between atoms in a Bose-Einstein condensate has led to atomic wave packets that can propagate without dispersion and other novel quantum states. One of the ...

As one of the key experimentalists to conceptualize and then build one of the biggest experiments in history, Nobel-prize-winning physicist Rainer Weiss’s path to success is remarkable. Now aged 90 he ...

I am a retired university physics professor who is pleased to see scientifically-backed considerations applied in serious decision-making — especially that impacting water safety and environmental ...

Optical fibers make the internet happen. They are fine threads of glass, as thin as a human hair, produced to transmit light. Optical fibers carry thousands of Giga bits of data per second across the ...
