Quantum physics once shocked scientists by revealing that particles can behave like waves—and now, that strange behavior has ...

At high power, laser light inside a multimode optical fiber is supposed to misbehave. The beam usually breaks into a noisy, scattered pattern as the light ricochets through many paths at once.

How do organic solar cells work on the inside? The answer lies in structures far too small to see—and difficult to access ...

One of the defining breakthroughs that set quantum physics apart from classical physics was the realization that matter behaves very differently at ...

Performance in technical ceramics is not specified at the end of processing; rather, it is engineered gradually, beginning at ...

Light has always carried more than brightness. In this case, it also carries direction and twist. That mix may open a new path for storing far more data in the same physical space. A research team led ...

Scientists have made the first experimental observation of matter wave diffraction in a short-lived electron-positron atom.

Researchers have, for the first time, directly visualized how electronic patterns known as charge density waves evolve across ...

How do photosynthetic organisms harvest light so efficiently? To help answer this question, researchers have developed an ultrafast transient absorption microscope with sensitivity approaching the ...

Graduate students and early-career researchers joined scientists from around the world at UC Santa Cruz for a hands-on ...
