New device emits photons in telecom fiber band from the start, so it avoids a separate converter that can waste photons.

Recent research reveals that quantum mechanics can supersede the second law of thermodynamics at the atomic scale, ...

I’m not sure whether it was elementary school science classes or Fred Flintstone’s Brontosaurus burgers that made the giant ...

Because there’s no current in the insulating layer, charge is trapped inside that layer, and the classical laws of physics say that voltage should also measure zero. Just as a tennis ball thrown at a ...

Real particles are lumps of energy that can be "seen" or detected by appropriate instruments; this feature is what makes them ...

According to the laws of physics, matter and antimatter behave the same way and were formed in equal quantities in the Big ...

The first-ever detection of this rare form of water in a protoplanetary disk suggests that what we drink might have been ...

A new quantum computing protocol may be able to augment a standard technique for understanding molecules in chemistry, ...

Electron-capture supernovae (ECSNe) are stellar explosions that occur in stars with initial masses around 8–10 times that of ...

Two physicists at the University of Stuttgart have proven that the Carnot principle, a central law of thermodynamics, does ...
