T here’s nothing quite like live sport. Globally, over half a billion (571 million) people tuned in to the 2022 World Cup ...

Scientists say they’ve cracked a key challenge in scalable quantum hardware after generating an error-correcting, light-based qubit on a chip for the first time.

However, although photons of light existed since the first second after the Big Bang, they could not yet shine across the ...

Take, for instance, quantum entanglement, which says that the state of one particle can be determined by examining the state ...

For the first time, researchers have seen how light behaves during a mysterious phenomenon called 'imaginary time'.

While dark photons aren’t usually suggested as a candidate for dark matter itself, they could be force carriers just like "ordinary" photons are. More specifically, these particles of light ...

Manufactured chemicals and materials are necessary for practically every aspect of daily life, from life-saving pharmaceuticals to plastics, fuels and fertilizers. Yet manufacturing these important ...

Light is made of tiny particles known as photons. (Image credit: DrPixel via Getty Images) Maxwell's theory is a classical picture of radiation.

Photons usually don't interact with each other, which makes light so good for its use in communication via optical fibers, as there is little information distortion.

During photosynthesis, cannabis captures photons of light using several different molecules. The primary molecule responsible for this is chlorophyll, which occurs in two main forms: chlorophyll ...

Interactions between dark matter and dark photons during a "missing chapter" cosmic history could shed light on one of the most troubling cosmic mysteries.
