Researchers in China have unveiled a holographic data storage system that uses multiple properties ...

Light usually travels in straight lines, but what if it could twist, spiral, and ...

A new holographic storage technique uses light in three dimensions to dramatically increase how much data can be stored. It encodes information throughout a material using amplitude, phase, and ...

University of Illinois Physics Professor Paul Kwiat and members of his research group have developed a revolutionary new tool for precision measurement at the nanometer scale in scenarios where ...

Researchers in Konstanz discovered a way to manipulate materials with light by exciting magnon pairs, reshaping their magnetic “fingerprint.” This allows non-thermal control of magnetic states and ...

EU researchers have brought supersolid light to life in the lab and are now exploring how this strange new state of matter could power real-world technologies. Can light ever be a solid? It turns out ...

Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) have created a new and unusual state of matter—known as a supersolid—by ...
