A research team at Fudan University in Shanghai has achieved a breakthrough in the study of a class of magnetic materials ...

Researchers show that consumer-grade 3D printers and low-cost materials can produce multi-element optical components that enable super-resolution imaging.

Unlike conventional layered antiferromagnets, in which magnetic layers flip one by one and can disrupt the overall magnetic state, the newly studied material switches in an "interlayer-locked" manner.

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing ...

A new way of capturing light from atoms could finally unlock ultra-powerful, million-qubit quantum computers. After decades of effort, researchers may finally be closing in on a practical path toward ...

Bottled water may expose people to more nanoplastic particles than treated tap water, largely due to plastics shed from ...

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, according to new research ...

Some brands of bottled water contain significantly higher levels of microplastics than tap water, suggests a new analysis that includes nanoplastics.

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

Light can do more than illuminate a material. In some cases, it can temporarily change how electrons move through it.
