A school gym-sized facility tucked away at the University of Michigan is quietly pushing the boundaries of what lasers can do ...
The double-slit experiment is one of the most famous experiments in physics and definitely one of the weirdest. It demonstrates that matter and energy (such as light) can exhibit both wave and ...
The ALPHA experiment at CERN has released the first results from spectroscopy of antihydrogen, so the study of anti-atoms is starting to get really interesting.
The original double-slit experiment, first performed in 1801 by Thomas Young, showed that light behaves as a wave. Later ...
Instead, to conserve energy, we have to accept that light must change its wavelength (and hence, frequency and energy, too) as it moves through a gravitational field.
"Einstein said information can't travel faster than light, and in this case, as with all fast-light experiments, no information is truly moving faster than light," Boyd said.
The analysis confirmed that both the input and output of the experiment were single quanta of energy. “They actually use quantum light to show that the energy absorption is a quantum event that ...
Experiments locate light source in silicon nanocrystals. 29 Feb 2008. ... "Even at 50 T the energy shift of luminescence for quantum confinement was only expected to be about 0.5% of the full-width at ...
