Lasers are a significant historical invention with ubiquitous impact in society. The concept also has interdisciplinary applications as phonon lasers and atom lasers. A laser in one physical domain can be pumped by energy ...
Researchers have made a breakthrough in the development of a camera so sensitive it can detect a single photon.
Chinese astronomers have used the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT) to observe the latest outburst of a low-mass X-ray binary system known as GX 339-4. They detected new quasi-periodic oscillations in this source. Their ...
Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic organisms can convert the energy in light into the chemical energy for life. And now, thanks to a study published June 14 in ...
