A black hole is not sitting inside a lab in Manhattan, but some of its strangest physics just helped shape a tabletop experiment there. For decades, physicists have wondered whether waves could steal ...

At the smallest scales of nature, the rules of the world shift in ways that can feel unsettling and beautiful at the same time. Matter no longer behaves like solid objects moving along clear paths.

A research team led by Dominik Schneble, Ph.D., Professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, has uncovered a novel regime, or set of conditions within a system, for cooperative radiative ...

In a potential boon for quantum computing, physicists have shown that topologically protected quantum states can be entangled with other, highly manipulable quantum states in some electronic materials ...

Whenever light interacts with matter, light appears to slow down. This is not a new observation and standard wave mechanics can describe most of these daily phenomena. For example, when light is ...

A quiet revolution is taking shape in the world of physics, and it doesn't rely on exotic particles or massive particle colliders. Instead, it begins with something much more familiar—sound.

In this analogy, a vortex at the center of a water tank replaces the solenoid that creates a magnetic field in the quantum ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...
