Researchers suggest that dark matter might subtly color light red or blue as it passes through, revealing traces of its existence. Using a network-like model of particle connections, they argue that ...

Strong light–matter coupling has emerged as a transformative concept in modern physics, whereby the interaction between confined electromagnetic fields and material excitations is engineered to yield ...

Researchers at the Würzburg site of the Cluster of Excellence ctd.qmat have succeeded in transferring the topological quantum Hall and spin Hall effects to a hybrid light-matter system by harnessing ...

Atomically thin semiconductors such as tungsten disulfide (WS 2) are promising materials for future photonic technologies. Despite being only a single layer of atoms thick, they host tightly bound ...

Researchers have developed a simple method to explore a complex area of quantum science. The discovery makes research in this field cheaper and more accessible, which could significantly impact the ...

Researchers at Rice University, Houston, Texas, have developed a new way to control light interactions using a specially engineered structure called a 3D photonic-crystal cavity. Their work, published ...
