A new chip-based quantum memory uses 3D-printed “light cages” to store light in atomic vapor with high precision. Quantum ...

Physicists are learning to treat light not as an untouchable beam that simply passes through matter, but as something that ...

Researchers in Germany have developed a special technique that will allow better control over atomic reflections in quantum sensors. This new approach uses carefully engineered light pulses as atomic ...

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable ...

Researchers have discovered how to design and place single-photon sources at the atomic scale inside ultrathin 2D materials, lighting the path for future quantum innovations. Subscribe to our ...

Quantum memories can extend network range via repeaters. A new approach uses 3D-nanoprinted 'light cages' filled with atomic ...

(Nanowerk News) In the 1880s Heinrich Hertz discovered that a spark jumping between two pieces of metal emits a flash of light – rapidly oscillating electromagnetic waves – which can be picked up by ...

Since the 17th century, researchers have explored tiny objects in their most fundamental detail using light and optical microscopes. However, because visible light has a wavelength more than a ...

Pre-dawn atomic light. This was taken seconds after the atomic detonation at the AEC Nevada Proving grounds on April 18th, 1953. Although it was before dawn the atomic light lit up the entire area ...

The use of atomic clocks could help bring cosmology and astrophysics "down to Earth" by allowing scientists to investigate the mysteries of dark energy and dark matter in the lab. When you purchase ...

The documentary “Atomic People” will premiere at 10 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 5, on New Mexico PBS, channel 5.1. It will also be available to stream on the PBS app. Aug. 6, 1945 — the day the United States ...
