Aerosols are tiny particles of liquid or solid material that drift through the air and are constantly present in our surroundings. Some are big enough to spot, like spring pollen, while others, ...

China’s latest space communications experiment has reset expectations for what a “low power” link from orbit can do, with a 2 ...

Using lasers as tweezers to understand cloud electrification might sound like science fiction, but at the Institute of ...

In a lab filled with bouncing green lasers and an anti-vibration table that hums a soft, squishy sound, the researchers used ...

For decades, scientists have sought ways to compress the tools of optical science – lasers, lenses, mirrors – onto chips that fit on a fingertip. Such ...

Researchers from McMaster University and the University of Pittsburgh have created the first functionally complete logic gate ...

The four beams produced bright artificial “stars," which act as guides to help astronomers correct for the distortions caused ...

With the help of carbon nanotubes and laser light, this machine can create immensely powerful X-rays on a microchip, ...

Researchers in Austria have entangled matter-based qubits with photonic qubits in a ten-ion system. The technique is scalable to larger ion-qubit registers, paving the way for the creation of larger ...

This process works best when the antiprotons and positrons have very low kinetic energies (temperatures) when combined. If the energy is too high, many antiatoms will be escape the trap. So, it is ...

Recently, Professor Lu Zhengang's team at Harbin Institute of Technology proposed a non-microscope objective lithography method that utilizes the spherical convex lens aberration, enabling laser beams ...
