Glass nanostructures etched using high-intensity femtosecond laser pulses promise to keep vast quantities of data safe for billions of years, describe Peter Kazansky, Ausra Cerkauskaite and Rokas ...

In June, more than 1,200 physicists will present new research at the 56th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society’s Division of Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics being held in Portland, ...

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technology that can non-invasively generate cross-sectional images of tissue. OCT is widely used in eye clinics to diagnose and manage retinal diseases ...

In a groundbreaking advance in quantum physics, researchers at the Würzburg site of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat have succeeded in transferring the topological quantum Hall and spin Hall effects ...

Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have overturned a 180-year-old scientific assumption, proving that the magnetic component of light plays a critical role in how light interacts with ...

Atomic clocks record time using microwaves at a frequency matched to electron transitions in certain atoms. They are the basis upon which a second is defined. But there is a new kid on the block, the ...
