Photon Force is an award-winning SME with a mission to provide innovative single-photon sensitive detector technologies to accelerate advanced research. Broad applications in the biomedical and ...

One recent experiment backs up Minkowski's answer — but still may not prove Abraham wrong. One might expect that the momentum of a photon, under almost any conditions, would no longer be a ...

The researchers discovered that the distance between lanthanide ions is one factor that significantly impacts the photon avalanching process. In light of this, they used an atomic force microscopy ...

The fact that it is insignificant on larger scales is the paradoxical effect of an odd strong-force quirk. The photon, which transmits the electromagnetic force, has no electrical charge ...

Experiments coupling light and sound reveal the surprising effect that measuring nothing can cool the vibrations of an object. We use measurements to understand the world around us. With our eyes ...
