An international team of researchers has forced light to replicate the quantum Hall effect, a Nobel Prize–winning phenomenon that, until now, belonged almost exclusively to electrons moving through ...

In 1845, physicist Michael Faraday provided the first direct evidence that electromagnetism and light are related. Now, it turns out that this connection is even stronger than Faraday imagined. In his ...

Scientists have managed to trap beams of infrared light in a lattice of specially engineered atoms that's just 42 nanometers ...

In what might come across as quantum wizardry, researchers at the University of Konstanz in Germany changed the properties of a material without using only light. This change, never predicted by any ...
