A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon.

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology (Leibniz IPHT) in Jena, Germany, together with international ...

The theory that made this image possible, reported Nov. 14 in the journal Physical Review Letters, ... The image will have to wait until we can strobe a light photon with a gamma photon.

The first direct visualization of the shape of a photon has been created. These particles of light are impossible to photograph, but UK physicists have now calculated their wave function to ...

A new theory, that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon.

A new Oxford study shows how physicists made light emerge from “nothing,” offering rare insight into the hidden energy of ...

“Possibly a whole new way of making Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) and lasers,” he responded. “Think, for instance, of making a laser from an ordered array of self-assembled quantum dots.” ...

While gluons are responsible for generating most of the visible mass in the universe, their role inside nuclei remains poorly ...

A new theory that explains how light and matter interact at the quantum level has enabled researchers to define for the first time the precise shape of a single photon. Research at the University ...

Using a groundbreaking new technique, researchers have unveiled the first detailed image of a photon — a single particle of light — ever taken. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...
