Cosmic speed limits can be a major inconvenience but they've rarely stopped science fiction in its tracks.

It is a world cut off from our own by thick blankets of floating ice, but some scientists are taking the plunge to learn how ...

With properties of a superfluid but with a crystalline structure, supersolids have previously only been observed in ultracold condensates—until now.

Now, the "Ultrafast & Twisted Photonics" research group at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light (MPL) has developed a new hollow-core fiber that selectively guides optical vortices ...

Interferometers, devices that can modulate aspects of light, play the important role of modulating and switching light ...

NASA's SPHEREx (short for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer) has ...

Researchers report their insights on the emerging field of complex frequencies excitations, a recently introduced scheme to control light, sound and other wave phenomena beyond conventional limits.

the research introduces innovative methods to control ionization using specially structured light beams. Ionization is crucial in strong field physics and attosecond science, where it describes ...
