The experimental setup shown here incorporates on-chip optical parametric oscillator (OPO) technology to generate a frequency comb of laser-like light covering a wide range of frequencies with very ...

Ever wondered what antimatter looks like? Well, wonder no more, as scientists have managed to get a glimpse of it in optical light for the first time – and, well, it looks a lot like regular matter.

Scientists report the first ever measurement on the optical spectrum of an antimatter atom. This achievement features technological developments that open up a completely new era in high-precision ...

Scientists generate both even and odd terahertz light frequencies, opening new paths for high-speed communication, imaging, ...

Did you know that the world around us is filled with different types of light waves ? From the warm glow of the sun to audible radio waves and invisible gamma rays, electromagnetic waves (action ...

We are entering a new era of cosmic exploration. The new Vera C Rubin Observatory in Chile will transform astronomy with its extraordinary ability to map the universe in breathtaking detail. It is set ...

A study demonstrates that graphene-based materials can be used to efficiently convert high-frequency signals into visible light, and that this mechanism is ultrafast and tunable. These outcomes open ...

Muggles are another step closer to donning a real-life invisibility cloak, as scientists have developed a new technology that can make things invisible under the sun. Spectral invisibility cloaking ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. Like a lot of things these days, it started with a tweet, by Zach ...
