Classical physics theories suggest that when two or more electromagnetic waves interfere destructively (i.e., with their ...

Researchers at Rice University, Houston, Texas, have developed a new way to control light interactions using a specially ...

The infant universe's population of huge black holes could owe itself to ultralight dark matter, scientists say.

This new study meticulously mapped photon states in these nanoscale systems. The researchers demonstrated quantum ...

Researchers at Rice University have developed a sophisticated 3D photonic-crystal cavity that can trap and control light in ...

Photon upconversion involves a series of non-linear optical processes where the sequential absorption of two or more photons leads to the emission of a single photon with energy greater than ... to ...

The lowest-order is basic—a pump photon scatters into a pair of lower energy photons ... joint amplitude of the output light is not simply that of the two photons overlapping.

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a ...

Silicon photonics revolutionizes data transmission with faster, more efficient lasers integrated on silicon wafers.

creating a course of light in the universe before the appearance of the first stars. But there's one problem: Those photons were way too low-energy to break apart molecular hydrogen. So the ...
