On Feb. 22, 1971, a sounding rocket lifted off from Wallops Island, Virginia, with specialized sensors aimed at the Crab Nebula, a bright cosmic object 6,500 light-years away. In those days, before recovering physical tapes ...
A study published in Nature Communications highlights the progress made in practical quantum sensing by a team led by academician Guo Guangcan and Prof. Sun Fangwen from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) ...
Benefiting from superior capability in manipulating wavefront of electromagnetic waves, metasurfaces have provided a flexible platform for designing ultracompact and high-performance devices with unusual functionalities. ...
The group led by Professor Naoya Shibata of the University of Tokyo, in collaboration with Sony Group Corporation, succeeded in directly observing a two-dimensional electron gas that accumulated at the semiconductor interface.
Hot bodies emit heat in the form of electromagnetic radiation. Lightbulbs and night vision cameras are examples of technologies based on this physical phenomenon. Our daily experience tells us that heat is always directed ...
We have just published evidence in Nature Astronomy for what might be producing mysterious bursts of radio waves coming from distant galaxies, known as fast radio bursts or FRBs.
Researchers at University of Oxford have recently created a quantum memory within a trapped-ion quantum network node. Their unique memory design, introduced in a paper in Â鶹ÒùÔºical Review Letters, has been found to be extremely ...
Metasurfaces, as two-dimensional metamaterials, display fascinating ability in electromagnetic (EM) modulation within a sub-wavelength scale, opening up a new way for manipulating the properties of EM wave in a plane. Owing ...
A team of researchers led by the University of Southampton has shown light can be moved within a distance which is smaller than its own wavelength—a level of unprecedented precision.
Particle accelerators are devices that use electromagnetic fields to speed up particles and collide them together or against a specific target. These devices are widely used by physicists to study particles, the forces that ...
