Attosecond photonics is very exciting because it allows the creation of very strong, short intense pulses that allow new types of interaction of light with ... deeply what a photon is and what ...

Researchers in Birmingham have created the first image of a photon, a lemon-shaped particle of light emitted from the surface of a nanoparticle. The theory that made this image possible ...

In the process, their experiment included photons in 37 dimensions, taking science even further down this strange quantum ...

But what about light itself ... a profound leap in quantum field theory, combining complex analysis and nanoparticle interactions. By simulating a photon emitted from an atom sitting on a silicon ...

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. Disclaimer: AAAS and ...

A team of physicists affiliated with multiple institutions in China has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions. In their ...

The detection of light at the single-photon level is important for tasks ranging from fluorescence imaging to quantum information processing, reports Neil Savage. High-sensitivity detectors that ...

Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can acquire a high-resolution 3D image of an object or scene up to 1 kilometer away. The new system could help enhance ...

Observing the interactions between dark matter and so-called "dark photons" during a period after the Big Bang called the "cosmic dawn" could help shed light ... "Dark photon, dark matter ...
