A new discovery shows that messy, stray light can be used to clean up quantum systems instead of disrupting them. University ...

A new theory of "dark photons" attempted to explain a centuries-old experiment in a new way this year, in an effort to change ...

Researchers find a way to purify photons, clearing major hurdles for faster quantum computers and ultra-secure networks.

Researchers at the University of Iowa have identified a new way to "purify" photons, a development that could improve both the performance and ...

Light is the workhorse of quantum technology, but in the real world it is messy, noisy and full of unwanted fluctuations that ...

Researchers demonstrate that by shaping the spatial and temporal structure of photons, they can engineer customized quantum ...

Engineers at Stanford have created a new optical device that can easily manipulate light into basically any color desired. The system uses a series of modulators to fine-tune the frequencies of ...

Ultraviolet (UV) light has higher energy photons than visible light and, thus, has more applications. Researchers have now developed a brilliant innovation -- a solid-state material that can stably ...

Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful ...
